Ep 212: Central Otago, NZ with Simone Madden-Grey
Central Otago is known among wine dorks as a Pinot Noir mecca. We're lucky that regular podcast guest host Simone Madden-Grey is from this region! In this episode, she gives us the skinny on climate, soil, top wines, travel tips, and what's next for the wines of the region.
Here are the show notes:
Simone gives us a bit of background on the region and talks about its origins in 1975 – 1980 when pioneersRipon, Chard Farm, Gibbston Valley Wines started
We get into detail on geography: Southernmost growing region in the world with Patagonia – at 45˚ south latitude Climate: Alpine climate, with short and hot summers and really cold winters, great day to night temperature swings Southern Alps: Run down middle of South Island. Rain shadow from the wet weather from West. Gorges, lakes, rivers mean abundant water for viticulture Soils: ancient glaciers, quartz and silica in the soils but when the gold rush happened, the soil was stripped and now producers are trying to restore it
We discuss New Zealand's dedication to its Sustainable Winegrowing Program, biodynamics, and organics and the Clean and Green mentality of New Zealand
We talk about the main grapes and wine profiles of Central Otago – Pinot noir, Chardonnay, Pinot blanc, Tempranillo (Brennan Wines is mentioned) We discuss aromatic whites and their potential in the region: Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Gris, white field blends
We discuss the subregions and how they are new and just starting to define themselves Wanaka – arrived, Ripon Gibbston, Bannockburn – up and coming Bendigo – Prophet’s Rock, Quartz Reef (vineyards)
We do a deeper dive into Pinot Noir, discussing it's unique character when it's from Central Otago. Famed Pinot Wineries mentioned: Rippon, Quartz Reef, Chard Farm, Gibbston Valley Felton Road, Mt Difficulty We finish up with some travel tips from Simone and a plug for anyone interested in applying for the New Zealand Wine Growers Sommit –a scholarship for those working in the wine industry in the USA!

Robert Burns
Robert Burns was a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide. He is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his writing is also in English and a light Scots dialect, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard English, and in these writings his political or civil commentary is often at its bluntest.
