Black cherry and plum lead into thyme, cocoa, clove and a touch of smoke, all carried by fine, silky tannins. There is plenty of fruit here, but it is the earthy, herbal detail and balanced structure that keep things interesting rather than simply plush. Hawkshead has roots in Gibbston, where Denis Marshall and Ulrike Kurenbach planted their first Pinot Noir vines in 2001, and the label remains closely tied to the region. A strong pick for roast lamb, duck breast or a mushroom-heavy dinner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHawkshead's home vineyard sits on gentle north-facing slopes in Gibbston Valley. Denis Marshall bought the property in 1995 with the aim of growing grapes with minimal interference to the natural environment, and the first Pinot Noir vines were planted in 2001. The producer has since broadened its range with selected fruit from across Central Otago while maintaining a focus on wines with intensity, clarity and a strong sense of place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the experts say:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCandice Chow, Candice Wine Chat, 94 Points (2025)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Harmonious and broody aromas emerge with cocoa, herb and savoury spice, alongside silky tannins that round out a charming, compelling finish.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCameron Douglas MS, 93 Points, Excellent (2025)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A bold and expressive bouquet of dark plums and black cherry, there’s a fine savoury quality aligned with an earthy baseline.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dhall \u0026 Nash","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53182026809711,"sku":"100574","price":239.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/2252\/6319\/files\/HawksheadPinotNoir2025.jpg?v=1787025890","url":"https:\/\/stolencellar.co.nz\/products\/hawkshead-pinot-noir","provider":"Stolen Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
