The Bald Hills estate was once a hilly sheep station near the old gold mining township of Bannockburn. These slopes are part of the finest in Central Otago and are located between the Cairnmuir Hills and the Kawarau River with inspiring views along the valley towards Wanaka.

In 1997 the Hunt family purchased 25 acres with a mission to make pure estate grown wines that reflect the nature and aspect of this unique site.

Only 15 acres have been planted with Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Riesling as these varietals are deemed perfect for this location.

   

This is real hands-on viticulture and Bald Hills is a certified Sustainable Vineyard making beautifully crafted boutique wines.

They are a new but super-premium producer already making big waves on the international scene.
