You might be familiar with our style of exceptional HAWKSHEAD Pinot Noir which signifies restrained elegance and minimal intervention in the winery.
Every vintage is diverse, as the climate has an almost alchemic touch and influence on our wines.
The terroir ‘ the land’ and curating hands in the winery all come together perfectly in our HAWKSHEAD 2023 ‘Reserve’ Pinot Noir.

Description
Upon opening a bottle, swirling the wine in a glass, let it breath in wine speak, and you discover welcoming, uplifting aromas of rich black cherry, dark plum and a subtle herbaceous hint of Vipers Bugloss flowers. Those all together evoke instantly a sensory picture of Central Otago. The pleasant elusive bouquet uncovered intertwines beautifully with some subtle indication of mocha and spice, even a soupçon of wood smoke. The flavours revealed flow harmoniously onto the palate. The wine is richly textured and discloses an exquisite balance created by sensitive tension between refined acidity and velvety tannins. The warm, rich mouthfeel compliments the interaction between all elements and prolongs to a harmonious silky finish. This elegant classic Central Otago HAWKSHEAD Pinot Noir 2023 ‘Reserve’ is ready to be enjoyed now but has also great age.
