Description

The New Zealand falcon has been a revered guardian of our vineyards for decades. At our Riverview Vineyard on the banks of the Ngaruroro River in Hawke’s Bay, we housed and trained a male and female falcon whose seemingly effortless grace held us rapt for many years.

The only remaining bird of prey endemic to New Zealand helps us with our natural sustainability program by managing pest control operations. To this day we still have a resident falcon who often visits the feeding station we’ve set up as a token of appreciation to this flying celebrity who also graces our country’s $20 bill. It’s worth noting that just one of these bills will get you a nice bottle of Falconhead to take home…

    Vineyards and Winemaking

    The grapes for this wine came from our Tantallon and Campbells Brook vineyards in Hawkes Bay.
    They were machine harvested and transported to our Riverview winery where they were pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. A variety of yeasts were used but predominantly 58W3. Following maturation and settling in tank the wine was tankered to our Katikati winery for final blending, finishing, and bottling.
