NEW SIGN AT HAWKS NEST

We now have a new sign at our roadside. The old sign with the rainbow over it was nice but predated our grapes. It was used to alert those who passed by our site that we had various fruits for sale but said nothing about wine or where to taste and buy our wine.

Now that we have several vintages to sell in NZ, we needed a place so that people could sample our wines. We don't have cellar selling (yet) and thus many potential customers drove by but did not know we sold wine.

In the village of Matakana is the wonderful wine bar called The Vintry. It sells only local wines and we have been lucky to get our wines placed there for sale. So, on our new sign we have our wine label on the sign and add the fact that people can drive on about two miles to The Vintry to get samples, glasses, or even bottles of our wines. You can see the new sign in this photo sent to us by a couple that lives in Nashville but were visiting our area of NZ.
We love it when people stop by our place to take photos--it is scenic there for sure as you can see in the third photo. After the harvest our Malbec grape leaves change to that lovely burnt orange color.

More soon.
