The vineyard is about 30K east of Queenstown and it’s no surprise the area is often cold! However, the various high ranges surrounding the vines offer protection from sea breezes and therefore the climate is more “continental” (in summer the max. can be over 30C but the min. only  10C!). This gives ripeness but also acid retention essential for great wines.
