Hawkshead Pinot Gris 2023

Central Otago, with its geographic and climatic challenges, deserves the description as a winemaking region on the edge. Those challenges give all our wines a distinct point of difference, especially the white wines. Hawkshead white wines are highly aromatic and have a recognisable, distinctive sense of place.

A pale lemon. Promising floral, white peach and Beurre Bosc pear aromatics seamlessly translate to the palate. In addition to its bouquet, this dry-style Pinot Gris offers a medley of summer ripe stone fruits, hints of dried apricot and a soupçon of wild thyme to awaken your senses.The abundance of subtle fruit flavours, rich texture, bright acidity and a trace of mineral notes make this a complex wine for a curious palate to discover and a good reflection of the 2023 vintage.

Vegan.

13% ABV.

Hawkshead came to be when in 1995, Denis Marshall bought a plot of land in the Gibbston Valley after forging himself a long and successful career in politics, specialising in horticulture and conservation. In 2001 the first Pinot Noir vines were planted, quickly followed with more plantings in 2003. Two years later, he and his equally passionate partner, Ulrike, established the Hawkshead Vineyard Partnership. The focus is on careful land use and soil management, with minimum interference with nature.
