The ancient Otuwhero River, gives OTU wine its name, and is fed by melting snows from surrounding mountain peaks. This provides their estate with seams of rich alluvial gravels that rise through our silt and clay soils - delivering bold minerality, intensity and ripe opulence to their wines. They bring leading edge winemaking to ancient soils. Their approach is contemporary and leading; gathered over more than a decade, through seasons that have been both immensely challenging and very rewarding.
Available nationwide at New World, Pak N Save and LiquorLand outlets.
