Hawker's Gate is a brand new release / label from James Hastwell, whos family is behind the Hastwell & Lightfoot winery. Fruit is sourced from vines between 11 and 17 years of age.
Medium blood red in colour, lighter than one would typically expect from the grape. Nose is light bodied also, sweet berry fruits with plenty of lift and a light edge.Palate is better than the bouquet suggests. Nice medium weight with ripe berry fruits and plenty of humming acid that keeps the wine feeling very lively. Some tannin plays a supporting role. No oak impact to speak of. Good effort (first up I think?) from a young bloke.
