ORIGIN takes us back to where the story began, shining a light on the regions where your favourite grapes grow. It is a vehicle for discovery, wine that takes you on an adventure, and wine worth returning home to.

We’re on a journey of DISCOVERY. We’d love you to join us in Central Otago…

Origin Pinot Gris

You probably won’t be able to find the vineyards for our Pinot Gris. It is the hottest, driest and sometimes coldest patch of Aotearoa, a meeting of extremities. These vines take root on an ancient lakebed, flanked by tall ranges, and with views of the Clutha River—this is Pinot Country.

Tasting Notes

Deepest red with vibrant purple hue. Lifted aromatics of violets, blackberry and a lift of sandalwood and spice. An abundance of sweet fruit and silky fine-grained tannins carry the wine for a long, elegant and sophisticated finish. The perfect balance between elegance and power.

Why we love Central Otago

Central Otago, the jewel of Te Waipounamu, is a tapestry of rugged terrain promising boundless opportunities for adventure. Deep valleys riven by ice-blue water burst with vivid yellow leaves as bright autumn gives way to the coldest winter—a sharp contrast to the hot, dry summers in that region.

Whenever we crack a bottle from Central Otago, it immediately conjures endless hills of golden tussocks under vast, open skies. It is undeniably one of the finest backdrops for wine enjoyment in the world… and it is right in our backyard.
