The Wine Farm, Gippsland
Itās all in the name really. The Wine Farm in Koonwarra, South Gippsland, is a vineyard-centric operation, where Neil and Anna Hawkins lovingly tend their 3 hectares of vines according to Demeter biodynamic methods (in conversion). Making varietal wines from pinot noir, shiraz, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, pinot gris and gewürztraminer, as well as a rosĆ© and pĆ©t-nat, the style is lithe and mineral forward, with a mission to reflect the land and how itās farmed in the glass ā a feature that is becoming ever clearer as the years pass.
