Hitchen Road Vineyard award winning wines

Award winning New Zealand wines from Hitchen Road VineyardWe are delighted that all our 2008 wines received awards at the recent Romeo Bragato Winemakers' Competition. Wines that are available at present are:

  • 2009 Pinotage
    Picked on 4.4.09, this wine has spent 15 months in a mixture of new and seasoned oak.  The result is a particularly smooth mouth filling wine with fruity aromas.

    2009 Barrel Fermented Chardonnay
    These grapes were picked on 1/4/09 at a Brix of 23.  This wine was made in the traditional White Burgandy manner.  It was hand picked, whole bunch pressed and cool barrel fermented.  This was followed by lees stirring and partial malo lactic fermentation was allowed to occur.
    The resulting wine has brilliant clarity and a light straw colour.  There are stone fruit aromas and a buttery flavour with a clean finish on the palate.

  • 2009 Rose
    This wine was made from Pinotage grapes picked on 30/3/09 at a Brix of 23.  The juice was cool fermented and the resulting wine is a beautiful shell pink colour with raspberry and tamarillo notes.  This will make great summer drinking with light meals.

  • 2009 Unwooded Chardonnay
    These grapes were picked on 1/4/09 at a Brix of 23.  The grapes were hand picked, whole bunch pressed and fermented in stainless steel at a low temperature.  The resulting wine has brilliant clarity and a light straw colour, There are citrus and ripe stone fruit aromas without the buttery flavour associated with a barrel fermented Chardonnay.

  • 2008 Dolcetto - SILVER MEDAL
    These grapes were picked  on 20/3/08 at a Brix of 23.  This Italian variety is a well coloured, luscous, easy drinking red. This is a particularly good example of it.
