Despite being just a short drive apart our two Central Otago Pinot Noir vineyards, The Steppes and The Canyon, produce dramatically different styles of Pinot Noir. The differences in climate, soil, altitude and surrounding plant life are all transparently illustrated in these wines.

Our vineyards are intensively managed by our own viticulturist Chad Douglas and his dedicated team

They our grown on a sustainable basis using organic principles to maintain soil health and natural vine condition.

Organic compost is made at the heart of the vineyard using material grown and recycled on the property, along with the organic waste from the winery.

With the warm dry summer months in Central Otago, irrigation is required; Moisture levels are constantly monitorted using soil probes throughout the vineyards to ensure just the right amount of water is delivered to each vine.
