Passage Rock Wines offer you a journey through a wine degustation treat: well made wines expressing the fantastic fruit offered by our local climates and the finest touch of the wine maker.

Sample our extensive range of excellent wines including the Island’s most decorated Syrah.
Syrah
Our Syrah is recognized as one of the New Zealand’s finest. With an incredible 18 gold medals since 2004, it has been ranked in New Zealand’s top 5 Syrahs for nearly a decade now.
Viognier
Our Viognier is made to retain the beautiful aromatics of the variety with a structure that lasts 4 to 5 years. It took out the Australasian Aromatic Trophy in Winestate Magazine and the Best Aromatic in the royal new Zealand Easter show 2013.
Chardonnays
Our gold medal winning Chardonnay delivers textually toasty salted caramel notes. These notes are well balanced with delicate spring blossom florals, lime citrus and poached peach stone fruit. This Chardonnay offers complexity and depth.
We make 2 excellent blends with Cabernet and Merlot. Sisters is our entry level blend but it’s certainly one of our most popular wines, consistently pleasing the senses with each unique vintage.
Reserve Cabernet Merlot
Our Reserve Cabernet Merlot ranks among the best from the Island. We only release this wine when the season allows, which is about 4 times per decade.
Pinot Gris
Our Pinot Gris goes from strength to strength regularly picking up awards, and is quickly becoming one of our most popular wines.
Awards
This wine is absolutely stunning it is so well balanced and harmonious and it just got better in the glass over time.
Two of our panelists gave this wine an incredible 19 points, big black and beautiful exclaimed one of the panelists.
A well structured wine needing food to bring out its best already delicious but will develop magnificently.
This is a lush plus wine. Decadently ripe fruit charachters with a generous amount of sweet oak. An incredibly attractive and immensley drinkable wine.
A young hero showing plenty of enthusiasm and character, the luscious palate displays full impact of ripe fruits, fleshy texture and firm tannins.
This Bordeaux shows beautifully developed complex characters of dried fruits , leathergame and fragrant spicy oak.
