This exceptional Hawkes Bay Syrah presents a complex and intriguing profile, immediately captivating with its ripe, layered aromas. Aromatic notes of freshly cracked black pepper intertwine with delicate lavender and sweet vanilla, creating a memorable and sophisticated bouquet. On the palate, the wine boasts a lovely fruit weight, balanced by finely textured tannins that provide structure and elegance. Flavors of rich vanilla bean and vibrant raspberry unfold, gracefully carrying through a long, lingering finish that leaves a lasting impression of the wine's depth and finesse.

Falconhead (Hawkes Bay) 2022 Gewurztraminer

The Falconhead wines offer incredible value drinking. Brought to you from the team behing Leveret wines. Classic aromas of rosewater and lychees with a stewed pear and cinnamon spice bouquet. The palate is delightfully balanced, with sweet flavours of Turkish delight, cinnamon and lychee.

The grapes were machine harvested and transported to our Riverview winery where they were pressed to stainless steel for fermentation.  An off dry style was achieved by stopping the fermentation with a little sugar remaining. No oak aging or malolactic fermentation was employed for this wine. The wine was tankered to our Katikati winery where finishing was carried out. This wine is drinking well now but can be cellared. Enjoy with Asian inspired meals.

Ripe scented tropical fruit and herbal aromatics lead into a salivating saline palate, with lively acid surrounding a core of fresh citrus fruit flavours.

The grapes for this wine were harvested in our Marlborough vineyard and transported to a contract facility for dejuicing and settling. The clear juice was transported by road tanker to our Katikati winery where it was fermented in stainless steel tanks. 

Always consistent and delicious!
