Central Reds

Central Otago is home to some of the world’s best Pinot Noir.

Pinot Noir flourishes in the Central Otago, with a variety of stunning expressions being crafted in the numerous sub-regions.

Surrounded by mountains, Central Otago boasts a cool climate that is uniquely protected from the wet coastal weather on either side. We have hot dry summers, cool dry winters and plenty of sunshine hours.

All this combines to yield Pinot Noirs that are smooth, silky and complex.

Though Pinot Noir is the hero of region, other styles are gaining high recognition like Gamay Noir.
