Bayley’s Hawke’s Bay Wine Awards Celebrates the regions viticulture heroes!
Alchemy Chardonnay 2024 took the title of Bayley’s Hawke’s Bay 2025 Champion Wine of the Show in grand fashion. It also received the ATI Engineering Chardonnay Award and the Frost Boss Single Vineyard Wine Award during the ceremony. Honours that will undoubtedly give this Chardonnay much greater recognition in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, and internationally.
The Hawke’s Bay A&P Society is extremely grateful to the Hawke’s Bay wine industry for once again entering their world-class wines to be judged for the 2025 Bayley’s Hawke’s Bay Wine Awards.
