Nevis Bluff had a key role in developing the Gibbston Valley wine industry and is known locally as the “Pinot Specialist” - reflecting the vineyard’s ambition to produce distinctive Pinot Noir wines. One of Central Otago’s early Pinot producers, they gained instant recognition with their first commercial vintage and have since enjoyed top accolades and excellent reviews.
Believing in the old adage “where you can grow great stone fruit, you can grow great grapes,” a 20 acre vineyard was planted in 1993. From these beginnings, Nevis Bluff has grown with their vines to a company that is dedicated to providing superior Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris with consistent quality. As well as harvesting the grapes from the original vineyard in the Gibbston Valley, grapes are also sourced from L’Attitude Vineyard, based in the Cromwell Basin. This top quality vineyard is planted in Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Riesling, ensuring excellence in grape quality and the ability to blend wines from two geographic sub regions.
