This year's Ambassador Blend is a collaboration with Event Ambassador Mike McRoberts, Elephant Hill restaurant and winemaker Hugh Crichton.
Auction chairwoman and Radburnd Cellars director, Kate Radburnd, said she was "honoured to partner with so many of Hawke's Bay's premium wine producers to showcase the outstanding wines our region is creating! We have had another stellar vintage ... so all wines are sure to be stunning".
Auction general manager Elisha Milmine said the auction lots were revealed on June 18, with the exception of the art by John Lancashire which will be revealed on July 1 at an exclusive unveiling for event partners, and the general public from July 2.
"This year's artwork is a very special addition which John is generously creating for the 30th Hawke's Bay Wine Auction".
The lots will also be showcased on Hawke's Bay Wine Auction Facebook page between now and event time.
"Since 1991 when the first auction was held, the generosity of participating wineries, local businesses, corporate partners, supporting bidders and volunteers, has raised funds which have been solely gifted Cranford Hospice, these funds help Cranford care for patients and their families living in the Hawke's Bay, each and every day. Supporting Cranford Hospice is the core charitable mission of the Hawke's Bay Wine Auction, whose cumulative giving surpassed $3.9 million in 2020."
