The wine region of Central Otago

The world's southernmost vineyard, jewel of New Zealand Pinot Noir. Intense, deep reds with signature notes of black cherry, ripe plum, violet, wild thyme and sweet spices, velvety tannins and a freshness kept taut by cold nights — a fleshy, sun-soaked style. Also ample Pinot Gris (pear, honey), dry and off-dry Riesling with lively citrus, precise Chardonnay. Vineyards between 200-450 m on schist soils, continental climate.


The wine region of South Island

New Zealand's southern island, cradle of the country's great wines. Sauvignon Blanc signature in Marlborough (~80% of national vineyard): explosive and tropical with grapefruit, passion fruit, boxwood, cut grass and mineral touch — global benchmark. Pinot Noir star in Central Otago (among the most southerly) and Waipara: airy with cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, thyme. Taut Riesling, precise Chardonnay, floral Pinot Gris.

The word of the wine: Hygrometry

Humidity level of the cellar necessary for a good ageing of the wines. The recommended hygrometry is around 70% in order to guarantee a good elasticity of the corks while preserving the labels.
