Product Description
At McArthur Ridge, we invite you to embark on a remarkable journey into the heart of Central Otago. Nestled within the picturesque Alexandra Valley, our vineyard stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to crafting exceptional wines that embody the essence of this captivating region. With roots tracing back to the late 1800s, we have nurtured a profound connection to this special place. Over the years, we have witnessed the transformation of what was once a desert into a thriving vineyard oasis, driven by the discovery of pure glacial-fed water that made our viticultural dream a reality. At the heart of McArthur Ridge lies a dedication to authenticity. We firmly believe that great wines are born from a deep understanding of the land and an unwavering commitment to showcasing its unique character. Our vineyards, perched upon an elevated plateau and planted across gentle northern slopes, bask in the warmth of the Central Otago sun. The Brassknocker soils, coupled with the pure glacial-fed waters that nourish our vines, bestow upon our wines a distinct sense of place—a true reflection of our terroir.
