Hawks Nest Wines of NZ
Hawks Nest Wines of NZ
Someone asked me why I had not put up our label on this blog. Sooooo, here is our export bottle of wine for our first harvest. We only have 80 cases for sale in the states so it on allocation. This is only being sold in Tennessee at this time and retails for $29.95 and I think it is a steal at the price. There are few red blends from NZ sold in Tennessee and all of them cost more but none are better in my humble opinion. (I am a bit biased of course but try it yourself)
Most NZ wines sold here in Tennessee are either the Sav Blanc or red Pinot. After the movie "Sideways" came out, it led to an increase in US Pinot Noir sales of 20% I was told by Robert Lipman who sure knows his US wine sales info. NZ makes great Pinot but none is planted as far north as the Matakana area. Our fall nights are not cool and dry enough. So, sorry, but Hawks Nest will only be able to offer a PN if we source the grapes from down south. Maybe in the future we will do that but first we have to got our Orchard Block red blend perfected with our local hand-nurtured grapes that we are now fussing over so much.
Talk about your global warming--it was 82 degrees heree in Nashville on March 12th!!! Weird!!!

I am soo sorry to not reply to your comment. The only places that one can currently get a bottle or two of Hawks Nest Orchard Block Red wine is at our vineyard in Matakana, NZ, or in Nashville, Tenn. If you live near Nashville call in at Nashville Wine and Spirits in BElle Meade Plaza or at the Wine Shoppe in Green Hills next to Blockbusters. Those two retail stores are going to have most of our small allotment of 80 cases for US sales. If you live elsewhere in the states you are just SOOLuck for this 04 vintage.
Sorry, DR Downunder
