Reserve Pinot Noir

2023 Central Otago Pinot Noir

The Hawkshead Reserve Pinot Noir from the renowned Central Otago region offers a velvety, medium to full body that beautifully showcases the elegance of the Pinot Noir grape. This red wine boasts a perfect balance of acidity, allowing the flavors of red fruits, particularly ripe cherries and strawberries, to shine through. The tannins are well-integrated, providing structure without overpowering the wine. With a dry finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate, this 2023 vintage is a true representation of the exceptional winemaking craft of Central Otago.

New Zealand is one of the most isolated countries on Earth, and the small country surprised everyone when its crisp, focused wines began impressing critics in the 1990s. New Zealand first made its impact on the wine world with Sauvignon Blanc from the picturesque Marlborough region. Zingy, floral and herbaceous, these mouthwatering Sauvignon Blancs thrilled wine lovers. Pinot Noir is another success story here, becoming blissfully elegant with beautiful cherry aromas in regions like Central Otago and Wairarapa. While Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir star in New Zealand, stunning whites like Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay, and complex reds such as Syrah and Merlot, also find a welcome home in this beautiful and rugged land.
