    Tasting - Hawkesridge Winery

    7:45 - 9:45 pm

    Venue: Johnsonville Community Centre Hall, 30 Moorefield Rd, Johnsonville, Wellington 6037 - Directions 
    Entry fee: Members $11 Guests $15
    Presenter: Doug Haynes - Winemaker and Viticulturist

     

    Hawkes Ridge Wine Estate is a family-owned, boutique cellar door, vineyard, winery and olive grove located in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand.

    Their name and logo were chosen to symbolise the contour of their property and the Hawks that soar along the ridge formed by the ancient Ngaruroro River, as depicted above.

    Hawkes Ridge encourages wine drinkers to ‘try something different.’ Along with the more well-known varieties Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris, they produce lesser-known varieties Viognier, Semillon and Tempranillo.

    The wines for the evening are:

    • C’est Beau Rosé to start
    • Deux Blancs Semillon 
    • Viognier
    • Rosado Rosé
    • Pinot Noir
    • Syrah
    • Tempranillo
    • and a late harvest to end.

See all past club events from February 1985.
