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…

Wine Review

Fragrant and true to the varietal signature of spice and apricot, a distinctive minerality and exotic quality. Nice weight and intensity with a spice laden satin-cream texture with contrasting acidity and core fruit flavours of yellow stone fruits and apple, spice and exotic appeal. No oak obvious though there could be some older barrel in the mix. Juicy, fleshy and generous with best drinking from day of purchase through 2028+.

Vineyards and Winemaking

The grapes for this wine were machine harvested and transported to our Riverview winery where they were pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks, as well as small parcel in seasoned oak barrels to enhance the natural texture. A variety of yeasts were used but predominantly 58W3. Following maturation and settling in tank the wine was transported to our Katikati winery for final blending, finishing, and bottling.
