The Wine
The Hawkdun Rise vineyard is small, planted in 1994. The
vineyard is planted in predominantly Pinot Noir with a small
amount of Gewürztraminer. The scale of the vineyard is just
enough for the couple to manage “with a little help from my
friends,” says John.
The Hawkdun Rise philosophy is quality rather than
quantity and this has paid off with the vineyard’s 2005
signature HR Pinot Noir - the first vintage produced under
John and Suzanne’s guidance - winning a silver medal in the
2007 Air New Zealand Wine Awards. A Gold Medal in the same
awards followed this for their 2006 HR Pinot Noir.
