Central Otago is the most southern grape-growing region in the world. It has become internationally recognised for producing wonderful cool-climate wines: strikingly fragrant, fruit driven Pinot Noir and excellent aromatic white wines.
Remarkable Wines are mostly made from grapes grown on our own vineyards located at Bannockburn and in the nearby Gibbston Valley. From these vineyards we produce two premium quality single vineyard Pinot Noirs, a dry and medium Riesling and a Gewurztraminer. We also produce Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris wines from grapes grown on our neighbour’s vineyard at Gibbston.
Our very first Pinot Noir, produced from our Gibbston vines won a gold medal and was awarded the Pinot Noir trophy at the International Wines & Spirits Competition in London in 2008. Each subsequent vintage has achieved gold or silver in this, the world’s largest wine competition.
