Hawkshead Wine - Premium Central Otago Wine (original) (raw)
Welcome to Hawkshead Wine
Located in Gibbston, Central Otago, New Zealand, Hawksheadcrafts Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Rosé wines with intensity and clarity.
For Denis Marshall and Ulrike Kurenbach the allure of growing grapes and creating exquisite wines in Central Otago was all encompassing. In 1995 Denis bought a farmland block in the spectacular Gibbston valley with the vision for growing vines with minimal interference to the natural environment. With this careful land use and soil management he hoped to create a sustainable, artisan winery that delivered vintages of the greatest character.
In 2001 they planted the first pinot noir vines. It didn’t take long for their Pinot Noir to be discovered. With early success at a local and global level the pair began to source different grape varieties from within the region, ensuring only the very best were made into Hawkshead wines. With these additional varieties added to their Single Vineyard Pinot Noir the label has grown and flourished over the years.
