Hoggies NV Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir - 4 Stars Winestate Magazine 2021 - Wine of Coonawarra (12 Bottles)

The primary fruit characters of pink cherries and young, zesty Summer stone fruits meld seamlessly with the subtle nuances of fresh baked bread and creamy yeast autolysis. Crisp acidity and a hint of sweetness completes a profoundly enjoyable all round drinking experience.

*Vintage may vary. Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is displayed, however variations can occur.

In 1992, Gavin and his wife Julie purchased 10 acres of land in the heart of Coonawarra. To coin a well known cricket lovers phrase, “We are just a mere Ricky Ponting cover-drive from the Coonawarra store.” 

​With a strong background in viticulture, Gavin set about introducing a carefully researched trellis system known as the Te Kuata Two Tier to Coonawarra. With its close plantings and vertical shoot positioning, this system allowed for increased yields and optimal fruit quality.

To Gavin (Hoggie), the hallmarks for a successful wine brand are, ‘consistency’ ‘approachability’, ‘drinkability’ and ‘great value for money.’ In his quest to pursue these attributes, the Hoggies label was born.
