Hawkesburn Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023
SINGLE VINEYARD - BANNOCKBURN VALLEY
Description:
The Hawkesburn Vineyard was planted in 2002 on a picturesque terrace situated directly above the Bannockburn inlet. This single vineyard wine is made from the fruit grown on this small 1.25Ha vineyard. A mix of clones featuring CL 5, CL 6, CL 667, CL 777. The terrace has sandy loam and loess topsoil’s on top of deeper schist gravels with mixed in clay. This complex combination of soils and the unique micro-climates give the wine grown there lovely fineness along with the rich fruit and plush tannins that are hallmarks of wines from this sub-region.
Winemakers Comments:
Aromas of red cherry and cranberry are layered with cedar, cigar box and a subtle hint of truffle. The palate is supple with a finely textured and silky mouthfeel. Sweet red fruits provide lovely movement and flow. Seamless acidity and fine tannins provide balance and lift, leading to a lush, sweetly fruited lingering finish.
