Its modern era began in 1977, when Peter Robertson bought the property on the advice of Tom McDonald, a respected local winemaker, and set about rebuilding it as a small, family-run producer. Peter and his wife Sharon still run Brookfields today, continuing a winery that has now operated continuously for close to nine decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrookfields draws its grapes from four Hawke's Bay vineyard sites: the home block at Meeanee, the Ohiti Estate across the Ngaruroro River from the Gimblett Gravels, a site in Tuki Tuki, and a Bridge Pa vineyard known as Hillside.

The tannins are fine-grained and remarkably silky, giving the wine structure without making dinner feel like hard work. Brookfields grows, makes, bottles and labels its wines on site, and this estate-grown red captures the producer's traditional, fruit-led approach beautifully. Pour it alongside a T-bone steak with mushrooms and onions, slow-cooked short ribs or a hearty winter roast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFruit from Ohiti Estate was fermented with regular pump-overs and remained on skins for three weeks.
