Mitre Rocks
With a passion for Pinot Noir, this family owned vineyard offers a stylish, focused wine under this brand.
Mitre Rocks vineyard is situated on the lower slopes of Central Otago’s Pisa Range, below the nearby Mitre Rocks formation. Our vines grow in glacial schist – low-fertility, alluvial soils typical of the Cromwell Basin.We experience a cool climate of continental extremes – hot, dry summers with cool, dry autumns that promote intense flavour development of our fruit.
The vineyard is intensively and carefully managed by award-winning viticulturists Robin and James Dicey of Grape Vision Ltd. The vines were hand thinned and leaf plucked from low-density vine plantings of Pinot Noir clones 5, 6, 115, 667 and 777.
