Our Story

A Story of Exploration and Connection

CHARTERIS is a story of exploration and connection. Born in New Zealand and now calling Australia home, PJ Charteris has spent a career chasing what he calls “a sense of place” — wines that speak honestly of where they come from.

Winemaker PJ Charteris and his partner Chrissi Pattison have built something rare: a label that straddles the Tasman, crafting wines in Central Otago, Marlborough, and now the Hunter Valley. Each bottle carries the hallmarks of PJ’s restless curiosity — precise viticulture, minimal intervention, and an obsession with texture and balance.

Whether you’re new to Charteris or a long-time member of the cellar door family, we invite you to explore the wines, the story, and the place.
