ABEL is a winery at 94 Flaxmore Road in Ngatimoti, Tasman, and its signature wine is a single-vineyard Chardonnay from a 1997 planting on the banks of the Motueka River. The website says the vines are rare old-vine Chardonnay in New Zealand, and that the 2023 vintage is the first single-vineyard release from the site, in very small quantity.
The business also has 21,000 close-planted Chardonnay vines on Moutere clay soils, planted in 2019 with a small block of heritage apple trees for cider. The farm grazes Wiltshire sheep among the vines and orchard. The website says the 2021 vintage is the fourth release. Free delivery across New Zealand is offered on orders over $110. The ABEL site is listed as 20 minutes west of the ABEL winery's other location.
