Exceptional Organically Grown Pinot Noir & Chardonnay
A Love Story
A deep love of place and commitment to the land and vines allows us to craft wines with complexity, flavour, balance and length.
Folding Hill was an easy place to fall in love with. We had looked at over 30 potential sites in Central Otago by the time we walked out onto a bare sheep paddock nestled on a northern terrace of Bendigo Creek in 2001. It was deepest winter, the sky was azure and cloudless , the Pisa range covered in fresh snow. We felt the magic of the place.
Today, that same love of place shapes the way we farm. Our vineyard is part of a small, diverse estate where vines grow alongside grazing animals, an organic vegetable garden, olive trees and heritage fruit trees. This interconnected approach is central to how we think about caring for the land.
Handmade from
Central Otago
All the fruit for our wines is sourced from our BioGro certified organic vineyard in Bendigo.
Bendigo's long, hot summers and free-draining gravel soils provide our carefully selected clones and rootstocks with exceptional growing conditions. We farm organically, with a strong focus on soil health, biodiversity and working with the natural ecosystem of the vineyard.
Coupled with low cropping levels and meticulous hands-on viticulture, this allows our vines to produce fruit of the highest quality. Our wines are a true expression of Bendigo: shaped by the land, the vines and the people who care for them.
