Rabbit Ranch Otago Pinot Noir

The Rabbit Ranch Pinot Noir is made in a very soft, fruit forward, low tannin style. A wine to be savoured and supped, rather than an assault on the senses.

The original owner of the Rabbit Ranch – Mr McGregor tried a number of measures to rid the land of the rabbits at the turn of the century, but was unsuccessful. In the end he decided to plant some vines and make wine.

The vineyard fell into decline after the second world war until direct descendants of Mr McGregor – Warren and Betty McGregor decided to replant the vineyard and as they say - the rest is history...

Central Otago has quickly established itself as ground zero for Pinot Noir in New Zealand-in the words of Jancis Robinson, "many believe this is where the Pinot grail is to be found".
