Our Place

Eight Ranges wines are grown in our boutique vineyard of just under 3 hectares. Situated on the edge of a high terrace in the middle of the Alexandra Basin, amidst spectacular mountains in the Central Otago region of New Zealand.

The vineyard overlooks the Clutha River between Alexandra and Clyde and is located just above the Central Otago Rail Trail.

Reviews

Immensely complex and enticing on the nose with sweet berry, bouquet garni, game, violet and almond nuances, leading to a splendidly refined palate offering outstanding concentration and depth. Silky and plush with an
impressively long structured finish. At its best: now to 2034.

2019 Pinot Noir, Wine Orbit

Bright, fresh, varietal and new with aromas and flavours of dark cherry and red currant,
layers of soil spice and mild wood influences. Taut cool climate textures with firm-ish chalky tannins and medium+ acid line then flavours of tart cherry and red berry fruits.

2021 Trail Rider Pinot Noir, Cam Douglas MS

Drinking well now, the 2019 vintage (4*) is a single-vineyard red, hand-harvested at Alexandra and matured for nine months in French oak barrels (24 per cent new).    Ruby hued, it is mouthfilling, savoury and supple, with strong cherry and spice flavours, hints of herbs and nuts, and good complexity.
