vines, wines & love
Two years ago our vineyard was devastated by Cyclone Gabriel, but thanks to the support of our family, friends, community and customers, we will continue to create beautiful wines made with love.
Shop WineFamily owned in Esk Valley
Petane was a small, dry farmed vineyard situated in Esk Valley, Hawke’s Bay, dedicated to the production of boutique single-vineyard wine. Sadly cyclone Gabrielle destroyed our vineyard and our home, however we consider ourselves very fortunate to have survived and our hearts break for those who didn't. Through the kindness and generosity of our family, friends, community and beyond, Philip has been able to continue his passion for making unique, single vineyard, organically farmed wines.
