Central Otago Wines
Central Otago in New Zealand’s South Island is the world’s southernmost wine region. Mountainous terrain, lakes, and deep river gorges not only offer spectacular scenery but give winemakers in the region unique sometimes brutal cool climates to work with.
Combine that with glacially derived soils, and you have the production of some premium boutique wines. The region boasts some of the world’s best Pinot Noir along with standout white wine varieties including Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
