20th Anniversary Meeting

Told in 1988 that it was" too cold to grow wine grapes", Tim Turvey went ahead and bought this property at Te Awanga, HB. He took this as a challenge, and together with business partner Helma van den Berg, they planted the first vines were in winter 1988. They went on to plant 2500 trees, including avocados, olives, melia and bay trees, lavender and citrus. They also designed and built the winery, adding to the cellar door and restaurant as the business grew to the successful enterprise it is today.


Clearview's Winemaking Philosophyis fruit driven wines in a Hawke's Bay style reflecting the terroir of Te Awanga, Hawke's Bay. "I want our wines to leap out unashamedly from the glass and say I'm Hawke's Bay Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Cabernet – etc"

  • 2009 Gewurtraminer,

  • 2009 Reserve Sauvignon Blanc,
