The story of Mount Edward C/O PinotN

Mount Edward was started in 1997 by Alan Brady at the foot of the mountain it is named after, at Gibbston, about 25 kilometres east of Queenstown. Brady was already a name in Central Otago. He bought land at Gibbston in 1976, planted some of the district's first vines in the early 1980s, and bottled the first commercial vintage of Gibbston Valley Wines in 1987. Mount Edward was the smaller project he turned to afterwards, and since 2004 it has been run by winemaker Duncan Forsyth and John Buchanan.

The vineyards are operated organically and carry BioGro certification, with sites in Gibbston, Lowburn and Bannockburn. In the winery the approach is hands off: native yeasts, hand plunging, French oak and minimal fining and filtration. The house is small, making about 6,000 cases a year on average, and Pinot Noir is its focus.

Expect cherry and red berry fruit with herb and spice and a silky texture. Serve it just below room temperature with duck breast, mushroom dishes or roast chicken.
