UNIQUE WINE GROWING CLIMATE
The Central Otago wine region boasts a unique continental climate untouched by sea influence. Its sub-regions, separated by majestic mountain ranges, give rise to diverse micro-climates. Shielded by the Southern Alps from wet westerly weather, the region enjoys low rainfall, fostering ideal conditions for organic and biodynamic viticulture.
Currently, 23% of the vineyards in Central Otago are either transitioning or fully certified organic, surpassing the national average of 5%.
