OWNERS
Hayley Bartholomaeus and Anton Stadniczenko started Stad_ko Wines in 2019. We are second generation vineyard owners thanks to Antons father, Robert Stadniczenko.
We use fruit from our Arapai Vineyard, which has been family owned for almost 2 decades, producing premium Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes.
We operate the vineyard ourselves, with 'help' for our daughters, Quinn and Mackenzie
Our wines
2021 Chardonnay
Youthful, elegant and lifted bouquet, varietal and fruity with scents of fresh yellow peach and red apple, cashew nut new wood, some softer quieter spice qualities and mineral earthy complexity. Almost full-bodied in style with complexity and length.
Excellent. 93pts. Cam Douglas
2021 Pinot Noir
Youthful and taut closed bouquet, varietal and new. Aromas of fresh dark cherry flesh and a fine savoury seam leads to other aromas of wild red berries and plum then spice. The taut youthful expression in the bouquet carries through to the palate, but as the wine begins to unfold it showcases a decent varietal energy and core flavours that reflect the bouquet. The impact of oak is perfect providing a frame and staging rather than engine room grunt.
Excellent. 93pts. Cam Douglas
2022 Pinot Noir Rosé
Plush, bright and fruity bouquet filled with scents of yellow plum and apricot, some strawberry notes and a fine dry stone soil quality. Dry on the finish, balanced and well made with a super fine tannin complexity.
Premium. 92pts. Cam Douglas
