Central Otago

Pinot Noir from the southern end of the world.

Central Otago as a wine region

Central Otago lies in the south of New Zealand's South Island and is one of the southernmost wine regions in the world. Unlike most of New Zealand, the region has a more continental climate with hot days and cool nights, which preserves the grapes' freshness and color. The schist-rich soils of the high valleys provide ideal conditions for Pinot Noir, resulting in elegant, fragrant red wines with pronounced fruit. Pinot Gris, Riesling, and Chardonnay also thrive here. At Florian Fine Wine, we present wines from Central Otago that embody elegance and a cool, temperate origin.
