Family owned in Esk Valley
Petane is a small, dry farmed vineyard situated in Esk Valley, Hawke’s Bay, dedicated to the production of boutique single-vineyard wine. Our wines are both premium in quality and unique from vintage to vintage. With a combination of the optimal site and environment, careful rootstock and clone selection and thoughtful vineyard management practices, we work with nature to achieve well balanced, interesting wine that reflects the site and the vintage.

Award Winning Pinot Gris
Pinot Gris is a noble grape and for Petane, it's king. A prodigious gold medal and trophy collector, every vintage we strive for a flavour intense, lush and generous wine style.
Selectively hand-picked, phenologically ripe berries are gently whole bunch pressed and, post ferment, the wine is left on its yeast lees for 8 months to evolve. A further four months of bottle maturation, prior to release, allows the wine to rest and achieve its full potential.

Phil met Sarah when she designed his first wine label. Finding design fees way too expensive he decided to marry her.
chief grape sampler
The nets are no match for Jimmy and as vintage approaches he works hard to sample as many grapes as he can on a daily basis.
Ella
The newest member of team Petane, Ella is a way off earning her keep but her smiles keep us going through the tough times.
