Its Origins
Squawking Magpie Owner and Director Gavin Yortt planted the main Woodland’s vineyard in 1995, with further holdings in 2002 extending the focus on Hawkes Bay classic grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. They are members of Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand and maintain a strong focus on cellaring wines and a quality-driven (rather than brand-driven) market strategy, which begins with rigorous vineyard management. Though not shouting from every shelf, on quality-for-value Squawking Magpie wines are often among the best Hawkes Bay has to offer.
What The Critics Say
Michael Cooper
"A distinguished, single-vineyard red, grown in the Gimblett Gravels of Hawke’s Bay and French oak-aged."
96/100 Bob Campbell
"Dense, powerful Syrah with red-fleshed plum, raspberry, new leather, liquorice, black pepper and spicy oak flavours. An heroic red with a firm structure of ripe tannins that are smothered by fruit and alcohol sweetness to make the wine accessible, but give it good cellaring potential.
Drink 2015 to 2024."
