Falconhead Hawke’s Bay Pinot Gris 2025

$9.99

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…

Aromas of ripe pear and white peach with a hint of ginger. The palate is silky and refreshingly balanced with a lingering off-dry finish.
This wine is drinking well now but can be cellared for up to 4 years.

Vineyards and Winemaking

The grapes were transported to our Riverview winery where they were pressed to stainless steel tanks and fermented using a selection of varietal yeasts to enhance the desired flavours and characteristics. The resulting wines were transported by road tanker to our Katikati winery for blending, finishing and bottling.
