Wine Review: Church Road 1 Single Vineyard Gimblett Gravels Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Wine Searcher's Wine Director and Master of Wine, David Allen - tastes a single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from one of Hawkes Bay and New Zealand's oldest wineries, Church Road. Church Road only produce their "1" Single Vineyard wines in the best vintages and 2021 proved such a vintage. Fruit for this wine was grown in the Gimblett Road Vineyard of the Gimblett Gravels district. We are very grateful to Pernod Ricard winemakers for supplying the tasting sample used here. Church Road Winery in the Hawke's Bay region is one of New Zealand's oldest wineries, dating back to 1897, when, on the site now known as Church Road, Bartholomew Steinmetz founded Taradale Vineyards. Tom McDonald, a legendary figure in the New Zealand wine industry started working at the winery in 1921, at the age of 14. He took charge of it just five years later. In 1949 McDonald introduced the country's first widely available Cabernet Sauvignon, and pioneered quality winemaking in Hawke's Bay. The red wines became increasingly popular during the 1960s. In 1989, two years after McDonald's death, the winery was heavily renovated. In 1991 two winemakers from Domaines Cordier in Bordeaux worked with Church Road to introduce elements of traditional French winemaking techniques. In 1995 the first vintage of the premium TOM Cabernet Sauvignon - Merlot was introduced in McDonald's honor. Chris Scott was appointed winemaker in 2005. In 2020 he was awarded Winestate New Zealand Winemaker of the Year for the third time. Church Road is currently owned by Pernod Ricard winemakers.
