Waitaki Valley Wine


The Waitaki Valley is in North Otago, extending inland from near Oamaru to Omarama. Due to its southern location, like its more illustrious neighbor Central Otago, this region also excels in cool climate viticulture with a similar continental climate. The best growing conditions are located on the north facing slopes on the south side of the Waitaki river. This geographical characteristic is thought to assist not only in ripening the grapes but also helps in frost protection.

Pinot Noir is the principal grape variety which thrives in Waitaki Valley's climate and the predominantly limestone based soils.



 

Some names may be shortened or spelt differently (e.g. SYRAH/SHIRAZ changed to SRA).
