South Edge Vineyard

It's not everyday the opportunity presents itself to reinstate one of Central Otago's oldest vineyards.

Drawing upon the expertise of award-winning architects, winemakers and the innovative processes deployed by these experts, South Edge Wines captures the rich history and epitome of taste in the Central Otago region.

Lovingly handpicked from vines grown in the vineyard’s rocky schist soil of Earnscleugh. South Edge Wine is aged in French oak by award-winning winemaker Matt Connell, who has managed to capture only the very best characteristics in our Pinot Noir and Chardonnay small batch varieties.

If you're going to do something, you've got to do it right. This has been Keiths' approach right from the start. A passion for fine wine, some of the best contacts in the industry, and a focus on producing small batch bottle runs each vintage. South Edge Wines is about acknowledging historic values while deploying cutting edge winemaking principles and expertise.

Following a whirlwind weekend exploring the Central Otago region on bike, owners Keith Petrie and Elizabeth Broadbent had a small window of opportunity to 'pull the trigger' on this exciting project. Based in Auckland, and deciding to purchase the site, and swap up their inner city backyard for a vineyard in Central Otago seemed like an easy decision to make.

South Edge Vineyard's Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are exquisitely flavoursome and elegant. Everything from the rocky schist soil, intensity of the climate and the long term establishment of these heritage vines presents a wholesome yet delicate taste for the palate. The perfect accompaniment for any occasion.
