TASTING NOTES

The 2026 Hawkshead Gewürztraminer boasts fabulously flamboyant aromas, with its bouquet of lime, loquat, orange blossom, and a sliver of Turkish delight.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with welcoming soft elegance, echoing the aromatic nose with its fresh, silky flavours, well-rounded acidity, and beautiful balance, finished with a delicate lingering hint of ginger.

Hawkshead 2026 is a wonderfully expressive example of Central Otago Gewürztraminer, perfect as an aperitif or paired with fragrant Asian dishes.

It is yours to discover. Cheers to your health!
