Hawkshead Pinot Blanc 2024
Regular price $36.00 Save $-36.00Tasting Notes
Chardonnay has always held its place as a classic, timeless, dependable and well loved. Even during the Anything But Chardonnay era, it kept its loyal following. But tastes evolve, and with the shift towards fresher, more vibrant styles, a quiet contender has stepped forward. Pinot Blanc. Often seen as Chardonnay’s understudy, but one with a performance all its own.
Much like in the performing arts, the understudy can bring unexpected brilliance, youthful energy, charm, and versatility. And once again, Central Otago provides the perfect backdrop. Its cool climate and long ripening season offer the ideal conditions for Pinot Blanc to thrive.
The 2024 Pinot Blanc brings freshness and vibrancy in equal measure. Aromas of crisp apple, citrus and white blossom lift from the glass, leading to a palate of juicy peach, soft brioche and a hint of sweet spice. It’s poised, textural and quietly expressive.
