Mount Edward - Wines of Central Otago New Zealand

The Drumlin - Celtic for small rounded hill of glacial origin - is the "home" vineyard of Mount Edward in Gibbston.

Our oldest vineyard, The Drumlin was planted in a mixture of old Riesling clones by Alan Brady in 1995 on the small, steep, north facing slope next to the winery. It has been our pet project since day one, cropped at ridiculously low levels and produces wine that echoes the mineral and glacial nature of its origin

Elevation 375m. Soils are a thin layer of loess over deep schist based gravels, aspect facing north on a 30 deg slope

Susan's Vineyard in Gibbston,is a small .6 hectare vineyard situated on a north facing slope some 200 metres from our winery on Wentworth Estate.

It has medium to heavy loess soils, with a high mineral content, over schist based alluvial gravels, with a gentle north facing slope. The vineyard is planted with Pommard, 115 and Clone 6.
