Otiake Estate is a small vineyard located on the southern banks of the Waitaki River Established in 2008 it comprises 3 separate small blocks planted with varieties such as: Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Gewurztraminer.

The Waitaki Valley is a unique area within New Zealand with many similarities to Alsace, France: such as climate, terroir and, of course,  limestone soils, producing wines with elegance and minerality.

We are delighted to be stocking these great Waitaki wines:

Grant’s Road Pinot Noir 2011 ~ Ripe red cherry fruit with dusty tannins and chalky minerality creating succulent fruitiness balanced by savoury touches. $26.99

Waitaki Chardonnay 2012 ~ Tropical fruit notes and a citrus lift combine with subtle oak characters. $25.99

Malcolm’s Creek Riesling 2011 ~ Crisp, zesty Riesling showing wonderful citrus fruit characters with a firm mineral backbone. $25.99

Malcolm’s Creek Pinot Gris 2011 ~  Stone fruit flavours combine with a touch of spice to produce a rich, full-bodied Pinot Gris with good mouth-feel and texture. $25.99

Waitaki Pinot Grigio 2012 ~ Crisp, dry style Pinot Grigio made very much in the Italian style with plenty of zing, ideal as an aperitif. $25.99
