Hawkshead Pinot Gris 2011 and Hawkshead Riesling 2011 have both been awarded five stars in the annual aromatics tasting in Cuisine magazine’s latest issue. The Pinot Gris from Hawkshead’s single vineyard Lark Block at Gibbston, Central Otago, was also rated the second best wine overall from 167 Pinot Gris tasted. Wine writer and associate judge on the Cuisine panel, John Saker, described the Pinot Gris as “all purity and youthful exuberance, splashing over the taste buds with the freshness of a mountain stream”, reports Voxy News.
