The Urban Winery in Ahuriri, Napier, is home to Tony Bish wines and where he makes a wide range of Chardonnays, including Heartwood, one of his icon wines. 

This Chardonnay is made from 100% Mendoza clone Chardonnay grapes grown in two areas in Hawke's Bay; the Upper Dartmoor and Bay View. All of the grapes were hand harvested and 95% fermented in barrel with 5% in Tony's new French oak ovum. The wine was then matured for a year in 25% new Taransaud oak with regular lees stirring (aka batonnage) to enhance the creamy expression of barrel maturation.
