Stonecroft has the oldest Zinfandel vines in New Zealand. The vines were planted in 1993 and originated from Ravenswood in California. Hawke’s Bay is a relatively cool climate, so our Zinfandel is a medium bodied wine. We have just a few rows of Zinfandel at the Roy’s Hill Vineyard.

Reviews & Awards

93 Points | Excellent
A delicious wine with flavours of cherry and milk chocolate, five spice and blackberry flesh, earthy qualities with a dry stone and sandy soil then oak. The ageing in American oak layers in a classic nuance of coconut and baking spice and a touch of wood smoke. Tannins are bold and impressive, polished and abundant, acidity adds freshness and length to the palate. Best drinking from mid to late 2024 through 2030+.

A light, fresh, vibrant and high A light, fresh, vibrant and high energy zinfandel with typical cranberry, and not so typical dried herb flavours. Elegant rather than blockbuster wine in an easy-drinking style.

The graceful 2022 vintage (4*) was estate-grown and hand-picked from vines planted at Roys Hill in 1993. Matured for 17 months in American oak casks, it is a bright ruby, mouthfilling red, with moderately concentrated plum, berry and spice flavours, savoury notes adding complexity, fresh acidity and supple tannins. A distinctive, youthful wine, it should be at its best 2025+
