BALLASALLA

This is a beautiful, silky smooth Central Otago Pinot Noir made entirely from estate grown fruit from our vineyard in Bendigo, one of the warmest corners of Central Otago.

The Ballasalla has a stunning fragrant and fruity bouquet followed by bold and balanced tannins, which are silky smooth and add weight, without dominating the dark cherry and plum flavours. This wine is a perfect expression of Bendigo, singing of ripeness as well as balance.

Experience the true craftsmanship of New Zealand winemaking in every sip of this exceptional vintage.

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.

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 perfect growing conditions. Coupled with meticulous organic viticulture and low cropping levels, the vines are enabled to produce fruit of the highest quality.

Our stunning wines truly reflect this special place and approach.
