Its Origins

Boneline are a Waipara operation with a serious focus on terroir. Waipara’s lime-rich soils and nearly identical climate to Chablis allow Boneline to explore stylistic bridge points between the more restrained French and more brightly fruited characteristics of New Zealand terroir wines. The name Boneline itself invokes a network of ideas linking their wines and terroir to the primordial history of the site, directly referring to fossilised fish bones that have been found around the Waipara River - which also appear on their labels - and indirectly referring to the lime in the soil, itself a residue of fish calcium that forms the various bone-like substrata of many Waipara vineyards and makes the region such a special place for wine. Bringing to their work a broad range of human and marketing as well as winemaking talents, Boneline look set to define new possibilities for their exceptional place and its offerings.

What The Critics Say

93/100 Cameron Douglas MS

"Super fresh, bright and varietal bouquet with core scents of fresh white fleshed tropical fruits and lemon lime citrus highlights, some sweet green apple, red bell-pepper and hay. Dry with a satin touch before the acid line engages the senses salivating, saline and fresh. Flavours of citrus and fresh herbs, some tropical fruits and whisper of white pepper. Luscious and fresh with best drinking from 2024 through 2027."

93/100 Bob Campbell MW

"Complex, layered nose with crunchy green bean and herbaceous capsicum aromas interlaced with pungent thiols. The medium-bodied palate is driving, powerful and intensely punchy, right through to the herbaceous, dry and grainy finish 08 Feb 2024." Drink 2024 - 2028
