Be In To Win a Private Virtual Wine Tasting with Jim Robertson

Church Road 125 Years

What started with an unrelenting drive and commitment to excellence from Church Road’s founders and New Zealand wine pioneer, Tom McDonald, has grown into a legacy of exceptional winemaking that has helped to establish New Zealand and Church Road with wine lovers globally.

Church Road believe that ‘exceptional’ comes from mastering the details of your craft and knowing when to trust your instinct. Chief Winemaker, Chris Scott, began his career at Church Road, much in the same way as winemaking pioneer Tom McDonald, in the vineyards and as a cellar hand.

Scott is now one of New Zealand's most celebrated winemakers with an ongoing passion for his craft, winning Winestate Winemaker of the Year now four times over (2013, 2016, 2020, 2021) – a feat never achieved before.

Scott represents a culmination of 125 years of heritage, tradition, and craftsmanship to create a natural expression of Hawke’s Bay’s most prized grapes and vineyards.

Church Road Grand Reserve

FULL BODIED YET FINELY TEXTURED WINE WITH GREAT LENGTH AND COMPLEXITY.

Church Road’s multi-award winning Grand Reserve wines are produced only in great vintages, crafted using small batch, traditional winemaking techniques to deliver wines of depth, fragrance and finesse. 

Sometimes referred to as ‘baby-Tom’, selectively-harvested parcels of fruit from low-cropping vineyard blocks go into creating wines with the greatest possible flavour, depth and concentration.

The range represents the excellence of New Zealand wine, bringing together 125 years of heritage, tradition and craftsmanship and the very best vineyards from across Hawke’s Bay and Central Otago.
