Tony Bish went on record to say that \u201cVintage 2026 is already breaking records. This will be the earliest harvest in my 45 years \u2014 and very probably in the history of winemaking in Hawke\u2019s Bay.<\/p><p>We\u2019ve enjoyed the warmest spring in 135 years, along with record-high Growing Degree Days \u2014 a measure of the growing season\u2019s accumulated heat. Blessed with such a brilliant, sunny summer, it\u2019s little wonder we\u2019re harvesting our first grapes earlier than ever.<\/p><p>The fruit is exceptionally clean, flavoursome, and pristine, so Oscar and I are ecstatic to get started and bank some sensational juice for our concrete eggs and barrels. My son Sam is also home this vintage, and instead of jumping out of perfectly good aeroplanes, he\u2019s jumping into harvest with us again \u2014 making it a true family affair.\u201d<\/p><p>As I was welcomed in to the Urban Winery in Ahuriri by Maxime Cavey, she went out the back and grabbed Oscar Bish\u2026 but told me that Tony was \u201cIn and out with deliveries of grapes\u201d. This was my first meeting with Oscar &#8211; but his Dad has, on previous catch-ups, said how delighted he was to have him onboard with the family label. As it was, Tony arrived pretty soon after, and we had the chance to chat &#8211; over the current releases &#8211; about how this year was looking, and the current state of things.<\/p><p>During this visit to the region I will also be calling in to Kokako Farms in the Ohiti Valley, and dropping in to see Linda and Ian Quinn out at Two terraces. Both vineyards are suppliers to Tony Bish range of Chardonnays. They also take fruit from Skeetfield. Here are people who are committed to either growing or producing the very best Chardonnay that they can, and helping to put that varietal from Hawke\u2019s Bay on to the world stage. And make no mistake &#8211; this is world-class wine.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-82b6ad5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"82b6ad5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7ae1eae\" data-id=\"7ae1eae\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0573e7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f0573e7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"980\" src=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Tony-Bish-24s-line-up-v1-768x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-14435\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Tony-Bish-24s-line-up-v1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Tony-Bish-24s-line-up-v1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Tony-Bish-24s-line-up-v1-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Tony-Bish-24s-line-up-v1.jpeg 1512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c7f0208\" data-id=\"c7f0208\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36a2842 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"36a2842\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The <b>2024 Fat &amp; Sassy Chardonnay<\/b> is back to Hawke\u2019s Bay fruit. This is a delicious full-bodied expression, with ripe fruit put straight upfront. Peachy and textural, it flows through the palate to a crisp finish. It\u2019s a belter of a wine and keeps the wheels turning for the Bish family enterprise. <b>2024 Golden Egg Chardonnay<\/b> is a selection from six of their concrete eggs &#8211; sitting around the $40 mark. It is a whole lot of Chardonnay for that price. It has an uncanny knack of seeming quite tight and elegant on first approach, only to unfurl a plush richness midway through &#8211; the palate dripping with ripe fruit.<\/p><p>There is now another offering that is new to me &#8211; <b>2024 Egg No.3 Chardonnay<\/b>.

Mendoza clone Chardonnay has a distinctive intensity and fruit tannin that runs through this glass. Savoury, pithy, steely and driven but also very generous. Wow.<\/p><p><b>2024 Heartwood Chardonnay<\/b> is the latest vintage of a wine that\u2019s considered a classic these days &#8211; a measure of where top-quality NZ Chardonnay is at. A rich, full-throttle expression, with more oak showing underneath &#8211; but, hey, this standard of fruit just sponges that up and it is just one element amongst the many that vibrate through this wine. Each of Tony\u2019s wines have a different voice, tempo and tune &#8211; but the songs are all quite memorable.<\/p><p>Fruit from the Quinn\u2019s vineyard is showcased again in the <b>2024 Two Terraces Chardonnay<\/b>. At the showcase for this vineyard in Auckland last year, Tony mentioned that the fruit grown has \u201caromas of fresh cut culinary herbs\u201d and I do get tarragon and fennel bulb on the nose. Quite taut and linear right now &#8211; this is set up for the long-haul, with tremendous ageing potential. Fine, focussed and with fruit in a clear citrus spectrum.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1924b7f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1924b7f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0718d3f\" data-id=\"0718d3f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1bf457f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1bf457f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I\u2019ve always had a soft spot for the next wine, and <b>2024 Skeetfield Chardonnay<\/b> does not disappoint. Tony describes the vineyard as \u201ca national treasure\u201d and this wine is perhaps another that deserves time in bottle, well-cellared, to show its best. Weight and depth meet lush golden fruit, with baking spice, honeycomb and hazelnut in supporting roles. Tony loves his Taransaud French oak &#8211; he waxes lyrically about how this generations-old company is developing new technologies and processes to back up their artisan skills. This wine is a great example of how good Chardonnay loves good oak &#8211; such complexity and range.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e8af956\" data-id=\"e8af956\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-57bb9bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"57bb9bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The other wine I tasted today was <b>2024 Zen Chardonnay<\/b>, but there are others &#8211; either not in bottle, or just not ready to release yet. This edition of Zen is a single vineyard wine from Kokako Farms made entirely from Clone 15. Very structural and well-composed. It moves from a perfume that is spicy, floral and exotic, to a well-structured finesse in the palate. Don\u2019t get me wrong &#8211; this is also mouth-filling and textural, but there is an extra edge of energy and Chablis-like minerality threaded through the middle that sets it apart.
