TW Wines Estate Gisborne Chardonnay 2025

Pure NZ Excellence | Gisborne Terroir | Beautiful NZ Wine

Tasting Notes

Seductive tropical fruit and jasmine notes lead into a palate oozing with pineapple and golden peach flavours. A succulent Chardonnay showcasing the tropical flavours that Gisborne is famous for.

Tropical, sunny and succulent — a Gisborne classic with cellar potential of 5–8 years.

The Vineyard

Grown along The Golden Slope — Gisborne's very own Côte d'Or — these hand-tended vineyards produce a lighter style Chardonnay that is true to place: bright, fruit-forward, and unmistakably Gisborne. The estate's coastal climate delivers the warm, sunny conditions that ripen tropical fruit characters naturally.

About TW Wines

Paul Tietjen and Geordie Witters founded TW Wines in 1998, growing and hand-crafting their wines along The Golden Slope in Gisborne. Their wines epitomise what the world has come to expect of New Zealand wine: power, complexity, elegance, and excellent cellaring potential. Winemaker Anita Ewart-Croy crafts expressive, fruit-forward wines that are genuinely true to place.

Perfect with fresh seafood, antipasti, or smoked white meats. The wine's bright acidity and tropical fruit generosity complement lighter dishes beautifully, and is equally enjoyable on its own in good company.
