OTAGO
Central
Otago, New Zealand, is an area reknowned for its dramatic
mountain and lake scenery. It has quickly established itself as a premium
cool climate wine growing district. The climate is continental with
hot summer days and cool summer nights - perfect for creating intense
juice flavours while mantaining strong acid structure.
Aurum Wines' two vineyards are located on the 45th Parallel and are
some of the world's most southerly vineyards. Soils are silt loams
sitting on 25-35 metres of gravels.
