I can guarantee, it will be an excellent topic of conversation – “are you sure you don’t mean Pinot Gris”? 

The Pinot Blanc is not your traditional white wine choice in New Zealand, and it has previously lingered in the shadow of Chardonnay. 

Hawkshead is changing that – their Pinot Blanc is a delicate, classy summer wine, excellent with food but also designed to be enjoyed in the moment and with great company. 

We all know, New Zealanders do many things well, but they excel in trying out something new, something different and making it their own. Go on create your very best food match with Hawkshead Pinot Blanc and share it with us.  

The next time you are mulling over the appropriate refreshing tipple on your Altitude Wine Tour, try the distinctively different Hawkshead Pinot Blanc – its sure to hit the spot!
