The Trans-Tasman Wine Challenge Dinner

Saturday, 7 September 2013

Indulge your taste buds and heighten your senses at a very special night that celebrates the healthy rivalry between James Halliday’s 2013 Australian Winery of the Year Kilikanoon Winery, located in the heart of the Clare Valley, and New Zealand’s very own award winning Clearview Estate Winery of Hawke’s Bay.

Kilikanoon Winery is situated in the heart of South Australia’s picturesque Clare Valley. From its first release in 1998 of 2000 cases, Kilikanoon has grown its production to over 50,000 cases in 2012, whilst retaining the philosophy of hand crafted wines.

In its short history Kilikanoon has won a number of Australian and International awards and received high praise from the world’s most respected wine writers. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, has regularly scored Kilikanoon’s wines up to 98 points, and the Australian Wine Companion has awarded it coveted 5 red stars. Kilikanoon now exports to over 25 countries.

From across the ditch Tim Turvey’s very talented eldest daughter Katie Turvey, winemaker at Kilikanoon, joins us to take on her dear old Dad. Pitting wine against wine with a delectably designed five course tasting menu, each dish will complement the wines from these two spectacular wineries.

Blind tasting each wine, who will have the upper hand? Will the old vine Tim Turvey still produce the juice up against the new growth vibrancy, vitality and beauty that is Katie Turvey. Has Tim passed on all of his winemaking talents or has he retained a few secrets that can see him still reign as supreme master!

We have only a limited number of tickets available for this one off ANZAC wine battle between kiwi and wallaby, maturity and youth, father and daughter. Come help us decide who will be crowned winner of The Trans-Tasman Challenge.

Saturday, 7 September - pre dinner drinks from 6.30pm

New Art Exhibition - Mary Francis & Nola Webber

We have the following artists exhibiting at Clearview Estate Winery & Restaurant from the 3^rd of May until the 4^th of July 2013.

Nola Webber

Nola is a well-known artist and tutor in Hawkes Bay having contributed in numerous exhibitions.

Nola’s preferred medium is oils. With oils, Nola feels she can create the depth and textures suited to her floral themes.

“The flower represents to me the design of life; from seed, stem, bud and blossom; then returning to earth to begin a new cycle.”

This exhibition at Clearview Estate Winery & Restaurant is a mix of landscape, still life and her favourite subject the flower.

Mary Francis

Mary has been painting for 15 years. She has always been very creative, with a natural love for colour and design.

It wasn’t until after the death of her husband that Mary started to dabble with paint. Starting with Folk Art and acrylics it wasn’t long before she moved onto landscapes, country scenes, animals and old buildings using oils.

She now works solely in oil and aspires to capture the very essence of her subjects.

She has a fascination with interesting skies and cloud formations. Always striving to catch the mood these scenes inspire.

Mary has sold may of her works in exhibitions and galleries throughout the north island.
