The winery concentrates
on six varieties, specialising each year in better understanding
of the site, the climate and detail to produce excellent
fruit driven memorable wines.
"The foundation of Crab Farm's success over the
last 15 years has come from hands-on viticulture and
attention to detail. We have full quality control".

Farm vineyard since 1984, and regularly visits the Northern
Hemisphere for vintages in France.
Hamish considers the skills mastered from 25 years
of viticulture and wine making in both Southern and
Northern hemispheres, has enabled him to keep abreast
of new techniques and combine the best of both worlds.

CABERNETS |
| ........................................................................................................................................................................ |
| A superb example
of blended Hawke’s Bay reds, comprising
hand picked Cabernet Sauvignon 45%, Cabernet
Franc 35%, Merlot 10% and Malbec 10%. A deep
purple colour, with liquorice and prunes dominating
the nose. The palate is rich, full-bodied
and lingering to combine perfectly with a
balanced integration of oak. |
