Falconhead Hawke’s Bay Pinot Gris 2022

$16.99$97.09 inc GST

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 juicy ripe pear and yellow apple enhanced with a delicate floral lift.
The palate is generously textured and beautifully balanced, crisp with a hint of sweetness, with a long silky, seamless finish.

    The grapes were transported to our Riverview winery where they were pressed to stainless steel tanks and fermented using predominantly Zymaflore X5 yeast. The resulting wines were
    transported by road tanker to our Katikati winery for blending, finishing and bottling.
