FIVE STARS 95/100 | Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review
LIMITED STOCK
Chateau Garage is the exciting small batch project of Ollie Powrie, the former Head Viticulturist for Villa Maria, and well-known and loved character on the Hawke's Bay wine scene. Few people have such impeccable grower contacts as Ollie, so Chateau Garage was always going to be blessed with the best fruit. Now firmly established among Hawke’s Bay’s most exciting boutique producers, Chateau Garage has recently caught wine reviewer James Suckling's attention, a testament to the quality and consistency Ollie has built into every release.
This seductive blend of marzemino, teroldego, fresia, merlot and sangiovese from the Dolce Vista vineyard in Havelock North has been wild-fermented in oak barrels. The resulting wine is both texturally complex and refreshingly crisp, with elegant floral and stone fruit aromas. The team are huge fans of Ollie's wines and with just a tiny number of cases produced, you don't want to miss out on these excellent boutique wines.

A blend of cabernet franc, merlot, freisa, marzemino and teroldego.
Stephen Wong MW writes "Light salmon-pink. A complex, perfumed and savoury rosé with layers of spice, orange peel, ripe peach, rosemary, lavender and gently grippy tart cherry flavours on the finish. Grainy-textured with a hint of cream and a softer, broader acidity which fans out across the long, cinnamon spiced finish; holding its savouriness and freshness well."
