"Seductively creamy-textured Chardonnay with tree fruit, nectarine, citrus, ginger, spicy oak and baguette crust flavours. An elegant and attractive wine" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Nov 2020

"The classy, youthful 2019 vintage (5*) was grown at 'select vineyards' and barrel-fermented. Bright, light lemon/green, it is fragrant and full-bodied, with searching, vigorous, grapefruit-like flavours, finely integrated oak, slightly smoky notes, impressive complexity and a tightly structured, long finish. Rich, refined and full of personality, it's well worth cellaring to 2023+" Michael Cooper

"Proprietor/winemaker Julianne Brogden 'in collaboration with growers of some of the finest vineyards' of the region. Unfined with minimal filtration. Greenish pale gold. Rather sumptuous on the nose with real texture and life. Pretty snazzy and already offering an enormous amount of pleasure. Exuberant. No copy of white burgundy but a self-confident expression of Hawke's Bay fruit nicely balanced by acidity" Jancis Robinson, Dec 2020

Ageworthy, elegant, rich and complex barrel fermented Chardonnay Lemon and citrus notes interwoven with fine French oak. Yeasty, creamy textured palate with a fine acid backbone.

The Kokako vineyard lies in the Ohiti Valley, uniquely positioned next to the Ngaruroro River and surrounding mountain ranges. The valley experiences very warm days and cool nighttime temperatures. This diurnal shift in temperature produces grapes with naturally high acidity and intense citrus flavours. Formerly an old riverbed the soil consists of silt loam over river gravels. Resulting wines typically show a flinty minerality, with intense citrus notes.

The Askerne vineyard is forward of both the Haumoana and Havelock North hills, close to the Te Awanga coast and Tuki Tuki river. The vineyard is classed as plains and benefits from the cooling winds in all directions resulting in wines with naturally high acidity and purity of fruit and elegance. The soil consists of clay, silt and loam. The wines show a beautiful backbone of acidity with purity of fruit typically lemon notes.

70% clone 15 chardonnay from Kokako vineyard & 30% Mendoza clone from Askerne vineyard Hand picked & chilled overnight with no SO2 Whole bunch pressed to 30% new French oak and 70% matured French oak barrels 100% spontaneous primary yeast fermentation and malo-lactic fermentation. Dry. Aged on lees for 11 months with lees stirring to taste, per barrel. Blend to taste from a barrel selection with a light filtration.

At Collaboration Wines small is beautiful and this ethos informs everything they do from vine to bottle. Proprietor and winemaker Julianne Brogden, is the one woman driving force behind Collaboration Wines, working with a handful of dedicated Hawke’s Bay growers to craft fine wine. Being small enables an approach rooted in a high attention to detail and an obsessive focus on quality that produces memorable wines, which express the vineyards they originate from.

Very compact, yet absorbent
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 48.00" x 24.00"
This is a unique kind of towel that has very little volume and rolls up to a tiny size. It would be great for a camping trip, or any situation where size is important. It's also surprisingly absorbent, considering how thin it is. I use it for toweling off after taking a shower at the gym. I should also mention that it dries very quickly. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is kind of "sticky" when you're running it across your body. That takes some getting used to.

Great quality, and great performance!
Color: Purple, Size: 48.00" x 24.00"
Got this to take on a camping road trip where we camped at three different locations all around Arizona. Needed something that would dry quick, but also be absorbent to dry me off, and this exceeded my expectations. It’s a really nice brushed, cotton kind of feel, but dries quickly. Next time I will order a larger size though. I’ve had this one for a couple years.

Must buy for traveling
Color: Pale Rose, Size: 60.00" x 30.00"
Bought two of these towels for our trip to an all inclusive in Punta Cana, DR. I totally loved these towels and I wish I would've bought them before. This towel is super light weight and easy to pack. I bought the biggest size available and it was perfect. They dry very quickly and very convenient to use. It is not the typical towel so when you use It the first time it feels a little weird but you will end up loving it. It dries your body very well. It has a little loop that you can use to hang it so it can dry. I am 5'0 and couldve done the 24x48 size but I went with the 30x60 for both hubby and I.

Great towels!
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 40.00" x 20.00"
I absolutely love these towels! I bought them while living abroad and they lasted me for the entire year and a half and were the perfect packing size. I also love that they offer different sizes. Machine wash, easy to pack, soak up lots of water for such light weight and thin material.

Great for my lawn chair! Must have for the summer!
Color: Gray, Size: 40.00" x 20.00", Color: Gray, Size: 40.00" x 20.00"
I got the 40x20 in the grey and it fits perfectly folded in half for my chair! I get so sweaty so this helps keep it at bay. The little button clip is nice so it doesn’t fly away. The grey just matches perfectly! Lightweight & dries quickly. Perfect for the hot summer days at sporting events. Already recommend to my family members!
