"This Chardonnay is produced in the true Burgundian style with a nod to the Friuli region of Italy. Whilst our wines are like our children, and we know we shouldn’t have favourites, it is impossible not to get excited with every new vintage of Chardonnay, even while it is still in the barrel. This wine transcends the fruit and displays all the myriads of characteristics that one would expect from a great wine." Poderi Crisci

 

Immersed in the art of food and wine for four generations, the Poderi Crisci winery is an invitation to appreciate the finer things in life, a destination with layers of experience. A family-owned vineyard with flair for all things Italian and a passion for traditional winemaking, this slice of Tuscany in the infamous Waiheke Island wine region will transport you to a simpler time just by tasting their wine!

Napoli-raised Antonio Crisci arrived in New Zealand in the early 90’s, quickly making a name for himself in the Auckland hospitality scene while setting his sights on a winery where tradition would meet innovation and give people a taste for distinctly Italian wine blends. Planting the very first merlot vines in early 2000, the family have stayed true to old world styled wine and grape varieties, while providing the ultimate winery experience for locals and tourists alike.

Time-honoured traditions and commitment to flavour are just a few reasons why “things just taste better at Poderi Crisci”.

Poderi Crisci's restaurant has received the recognition of being a Metro Top 50 restaurant as well as being listed in the Cuisine Good Food Guide containing the best 70 restaurants in New Zealand. It is also a stunning venue for weddings, private events for up to 100 guests. Just arriving at Poderi Crisci you may well think that you have been transported to Tuscany.
