Logan Brown 'Dining Room' Newsletter
Rahana, Restaurant Manager at Logan Brown shares her passion for Hawke's Bay wine.
"I grew up in Hawkes Bay and a lot of my favourite classics are grown there too. Every now and then I simply must have a Full Bodied but Handsome Chardonnay or Juicy Fruity Red from the homeland. Don’t get me wrong, the racier leaner styles of Chardonnay are great but sometimes you just need the fullness of body from the likes of the Clearview Reserve".

Capital Life Restaurant Review
Clearview Winery restaurant last year celebrated its 20th anniversary, and still it packs the punters in.
The bucolic charm of sitting under sun umbrellas amidst vines laden with grapes, drinking their top- quality wine, is enhanced considerably by Clearview's long-standing reputation for good food. Luckily, it has managed to hire a succession of competent head chefs.

Clearview Estate takes out three spots
in top 100 wines for Summer
It’s official, wines from Clearview Estate on the Cape Coast of Hawke’s Bay are among the best to sup this summer!
Three of its wines are included in Metro magazine’s inaugural ‘100 Wines for summer’ list in the December issue released this week.
Clearview Cape Kidnappers Merlot Malbec 2009, Clearview Enigma 2009, and Clearview Te Awanga Chardonnay 2011 were all judged by the nine-strong judging panel led by Paul Tudor MW as worthy for inclusion in the list of great wines for all sorts of occasions, including barbecues, picnics and daily drinking, and special occasions like long lunches, fancy dinner parties and celebrations.
“To get not one or two but three wines is exciting,” says Clearview Estate winemaker Barry Riwai. “We are punching above our weight for the size of our winery so achieving three percent of the total list is a great result. It’s a testament to our unique micro-climate on the coast at Te Awanga.”
This is the first time in its 30-year history that Metro magazine has presented a wine tasting. The judging panel, with extensive experience in wine tasting, wine competitions and restaurants, spent two days in blind tastings and worked their way through many hundreds of wines to come up with the list.
