What is frost fighting?

In Central Otago, spring nights can drop below freezing just as new vine shoots burst into life. Those tiny green shoots emerging now will become next year's vintage, but they're incredibly vulnerable to frost.
When temperatures plummet, our team is out in the vineyard long before dawn working to protect those delicate shoots. It's called frost fighting, and it's one of the most important jobs of the season.
Why it matters: Young shoots are vulnerable. Frost can damage future grape bunches. A few freezing hours can impact the entire season's work.

It's one of the many reasons great Central Otago Pinot Noir is truly grown, not just made, and some nights, great w**e starts at 2am.

Long before our w**es reach you, there's plenty happening behind the scenes in our w**ery.

This week we're tasting through each barrel, tracking how the w**es are developing and getting an early glimpse of the vintage's potential. It's one our w**emaker Andrew's favourite parts of the w**emaking journey, seeing individual barrels express their own unique character before they eventually come together in the final blend.

Good w**e takes precision and time, and we're enjoying every stage of the process.

Winter is loosening its grip on Central Otago, and the vineyard is waking up.

The first buds are breaking on our vines, marking the beginning of a new growing season. After months of dormancy, these tiny green shoots are a welcome reminder that another vintage is on its way.

There's still plenty of work ahead, but moments like these give us a glimpse of what's to come. We can't wait to see where the 2027 season takes us.

Tucked safely away in the w**ery, our Pinot Noir is spending its days in barrel, slowly developing the layers, texture and depth that makes every vintage unique.

There's no rushing a great w**e. While nature takes its course and time refines each barrel, we're already looking forward to the moment it's bottled and shared with you.

Some things are worth waiting for.

The secateurs are packed away, the vines stand neat and ready and now comes the art of patience.

Across our Earnscleugh vineyard, our winter's work is complete. The rows are quiet, but beneath the surface, the vines are preparing for the season ahead. For now, we wait for the vines to wake up and the magic of budburst.

Every great vintage begins with a moment like this. 🍇✨
