Commercial description
Central Otago Pinot Noir is growing every year closer to ‘Pinot Perfection’.
In the glass, it sparkles like liquid ruby, the nose picks up, enticing red berries and plum aromatics, with escaping nuances of wild herbs and sweet spice.
Fresh, ripe Raspberry and Morello Cherry notes can be found on the palate, and fine tannins, brightened by youthful acidity, make this an expressive wine of outstanding purity. A proud expression of its place; Central Otago.
This is a modern Pinot Noir for drinking young but with the potential to be explored in ten years time by the patient connoisseur. So here is the perfect opportunity to start a cellar, hide a few bottles, store them in the ideal condition, and you will be in for a journey of discovery.
Sub-Region: Gibbston 40% & Alexandra 60%
Colour: Deep translucent Ruby
Flavour Profile: Purity is the trademark for the Hawkshead ‘Central Otago’ Pinot Noir. Experienced through a graceful slender palate, incisive freshness and insistent aromatics. Blackberry and Doris plum aromatics escape from the glass, only to augment concentration on the palate with alluring wild herb and sweet spice nuances.
This is a medium-bodied wine. Abundant ripe fruit is set against a frame of fine-grained tannins and youthful acidity. The wine has excellent balance and structure. A modern Pinot Noir for drinking young but also with the potential to be explored in 10 years.
