Petane Station Tracks Block Viognier

Please note: Due to Cycle Gabrielle a number of Petane Station wines (based in the Eskdale) have damaged labels due to the flood damage.

There’s a lot to love about this family owned, boutique Eskdale, Hawke’s Bay producer….the wine and the story!

Petane Station is the heart and soul of husband and wife team Philip and Sarah. The story began when winemaker Philip went into a local marketing firm to get help for his new wine label – he left with the Petane Station label and one of the marketing girls! Yep, he won the heart of Sarah and six months later they were engaged. “He didn’t have to pay for the new label” joked Sarah.

There’s a whole lot of TLC that goes into this wine that’s for sure – including every bottle in the production being picked by hand and individually numbered!

From a really good 2021 Hawke’s Bay vintage, Philip says this is “Full bodied and dry to taste…this is a delicately floral Viognier with aromas of tonka beans and cloves, leading to peach, apricot and pine nuts on the palate.” Hook in, enjoy with roast chicken, turkey or how about poached salmon?
