Great wine, wine that has personality, wine that reflects its origins, is always grown in the vineyard. We have taken this approach at Mount Edward and all that we do is based on this premise.

We operate our estate vineyards organically, we are Bio Gro certified.

Central Otago throws up its own challenges to any vigneron. We are at latitude 45 deg south, the growing season is warm and dry with cool nights. It is a short season however with a risk of frost early and late.

We actively restrict crop levels and manage the vine canopy to achieve balance and uniform ripeness regardless of variety. These are hand-crafted wines and with only 6000 cases produced annually on average, great care is taken at every stage of the process.

Our climate and soils are unique with the parent rock being glacially derived schist. Most of the soils had been cultivated only a few times in the 100 years before the viticulturists arrived, some not at all.

We are also fans of Central Otago’s sub regions. These sub regions exhibit significant differences in wine expression, all of which we believe are excellent expressions of Central Otago wine.

All of our vineyards are within Central Otago's sub regions. We have a cluster of three small vineyards near Lowburn, Cromwell, a vineyard on Felton Road in Bannockburn, Cromwell, and, two vineyard sites in Gibbston near Queenstown.

We help manage all our grower vineyards, all have begun the process towards organic conversion.
