There’s a lot to love about this family owned, boutique Eskdale, Hawke’s Bay producer….the wine and the story!

Petane Station is the heart and soul of husband and wife team Philip and Sarah. The story began when winemaker Philip went into a local marketing firm to get help for his new wine label – he left with the Petane Station label and one of the marketing girls! Yep, he won the heart of Sarah and six months later they were engaged. “He didn’t have to pay for the new label” joked Sarah.

There’s a whole lot of TLC that goes into this wine that’s for sure – including every bottle in the production being individually numbered! Entirely hand picked fruit and barrel aged for 11 months.

From a banging 2020 Hawke’s Bay vintage, Philip reckons this is all about the “summer stone fruits and spicy oak”. Hook in, enjoy!
