Autumn in the Vineyards
The dramatic mountain valley vineyards of the world’s most southerly wine region are particularly perfect in autumn. Grape vines were first planted in Central Otago in 1864, but commercial production didn’t begin until the end of the 1980s. The region’s specialty is Pinot Noir, which acquires a velvety texture and vibrant, spicy flavours in the often extreme climate.
