These are our wines, our style, our take on growing, producing and making wines of individual character and uniqueness. Wines that are all about us.

We make our wines as naturally as we can. Wild vineyard yeasts do the work, we achieve balance through the timing of harvest using organically grown grapes, avoid additions, temperature control, fining and filtration where possible, limit the use of sulphites, all <50 ppm, with some wines having none at all. Our wines are about texture, vitality and personality.

We grow and produce a range of wines.

Single Vineyard 

Single Vineyard wines are small parcels of wine that reflect specific vineyard sites;

What does this actually mean?

All grape varieties have flavour, tannin and acidity profiles, Countries and sub regions have climate profiles that influence these,  

A vineyard site meanwhile, by virtue of its soil, sub soil, position, aspect and elevation will give a single definition of  that sub region. Through its roots and leave,s varying amounts of sun, water, minerals and  food are available to the plant and its fruit. These differences then influence taste & texture producing individually unique wines.

As a winemaker you then have tools and techniques that can deliver these attributes in their purest sense, ie single vineyard wines.

These markers of taste and texture should be always there no matter the vintage and are what define true single vineyard wines.

Our Single Vineyards are 

Muirkirk Vineyard, Felton Road, Bannockburn 

Wine Typicity: Blue to darker fruits, plush, elegant and mid weight fine tannins, with a soft supple palate. 

Susan’s Vineyard, Cairnmuir Road, Bannoockburn

Wine Typicity: Spice, sweeter darker fruits and complexity, with well defined  fine tannin structure. 

Morrison Vineyard, Wanaka Road, Pisa 

Wine Typicity: Powerful aromatics, high tones with red to darker fruits and coils of  tannins. Density and weight of flavour with typically long supple texture. 

Pisa Terrace Vineyard, Mt Pisa Road, Pisa

Wine Typicity: Upfront aromatics, high tones, red/blue fruit flavours and light fine chalky  tannins. Delicate rather than structural wines with acidity as their backbone.

Mount Edward 

Estate wines are all about our house style, vineyard expressions combined with what we like as winemakers, a blend of taste and place. 

Wines of vibrancy, of flavour, of refreshing acidity. Wines that are unique, out of the ordinary, that you want to have again and again. Here we focus on everything from traditional techniques to more natural winemaking.

We have been planting new varieties since inception, experimenting with what Central Otago can successfully grow and produce , Gamay to Gruner, Chenin to Pinot Blanc and many others.

Our House style is about textural elegance, more into the savoury and herbal end of flavours with tension and vibrancy underlying all.
