The Region
North Canterbury
North Canterbury is located on the South Island of New Zealand close to Christchurch city. The region has a cool, dry climate with lots of sun and a long growing season. The Southern Alps to the west ensure low rainfall and long, dry autumns along with a high diurnal range help to create concentrated and expressive wines – particularly from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Central Otago
Central Otago is also located on New Zealand’s South Island, it is marked by its distinctive terrain and mountains which provide one the world’s most southerly wine regions. The climate can be extreme with short hot summers and sometimes brutal winters, with relatively low humidity throughout.
