The soils are overlaid with river shingles that allow great porosity, so great intensity. And the restaurant takes many measures to reduce its environmental impact – buying locally, recycling, composting, and even sharing food scraps to the local piggies.Īfter making wine on the coast of Hawke’s Bay for 35 years, I’ve come to respect the land and surroundings – cool, cleansing sea breezes create a dry maritime environment, allowing us time to hold fruit longer without the threat of rot from humidity – an elongated ripening adds enormous flavour. The vineyard team work with Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand (SWNZ) to reduce the impacts of viticulture on our environment. In all aspects of business, Clearview Estate Winery and Restaurant have sought to reduce their impact upon the environment, helping to preserve it for future generations. Whether producing wine or food, they’ve made sustainability key. Nestled near the historic landscape of Cape Kidnappers, they have been creating premium wine for almost 30 years. Today, Vidal's historic but neglected No.2 Vineyard at Te Awanga, Hawke’s Bay is Clearview – a much loved, family-owned and operated estate specialising in sustainable, handmade wine with vibrant acidity and concentrated flavour profiles.Ĭlearview Estate wines are crafted by people who believe that wine, food and hospitality go hand in hand. Seats are strictly limited and will again sell out quickly.In 1986, Tim Turvey and Helma van den Berg were told their site was “too cold to grow wine grapes.” But together they rammed the posts, ran the wires, even trained the young vines to produce their vintage. Tim will also be bringing a couple of surprise wines from Clearview’s wine Library in addition to the set wines which we are very excited about.

Seats are priced at $110 per person which includes all food (six courses) and wines for the evening plus a welcome drink on arrival. Join us for dinner with Clearview Estate founder, owner, winemaker and raconteur extraordinaire, Tim Turvey, for a night of great wines and stories alongside Eichardt’s legendary food. New Zealand wine critic Michael Cooper has called the Reserve Chardonnay an “iconic New Zealand Chardonnay” and “a New Zealand super classic”.īoth Clearview Estate red and white dessert wines are the first of their kind in New Zealand and are luscious examples of the terroir, gaining national and international notoriety. The Reserve Chardonnay has received gold medals, five star ratings, and trophies in every vintage since 1992. Against all the odds Tim and Helma have built up the Estate, planting vines and trees, establishing the restaurant and renovated the historic homestead.Ĭlearview Estate has established a considerable reputation for high quality, handmade wines since the winery’s first release of Cabernet Sauvignon in 1989.

Tim Turvey established Clearview along with Helma van den Berg over 25 years ago, Clearview Estate Winery, Vineyards & Restaurant is situated on the coastline of Hawke’s Bay, in the Te Awanga sub-region. Each of the six courses has been expertly matched with one of Clearview’s legendary wines.

This very special evening will feature a six-course degustation menu designed and prepared by Eichardt’s Executive Chef, Will Eaglesfield. The April Eichardt’s Monthly Winemaker Dinner which was hosted by the owners of Misha’s Vineyard – Misha & Andy Wilkinson was fully booked weeks ahead of the big night, and what a night it was!
