| Winery | Pinot Gris clones 2/15 and 2/21 are hand-picked from Rockburn's two vineyard sites in Parkburn and Gibbston Valley. The Parkburn vineyards lie in the middle of Central Otago Block Mountain ranges on an old, alluvial terrace covered by a loam topsoil. The vineyard sits at 235 metres, with a semi-continental climate of hot, dry summers and cold, dry winters. The Gibbston Valley vineyard lies on the western side of Central Otago in a very mountainous, once-glaciated country. Alluvial fans and scarps dominate the landscape, which the Kawarau River has terraced. A strong, prevailing westerly airstream influences the climate, with higher rainfall and more clouds, resulting in lower sunshine hours. Vines are trained to a Vertical Shoot Position (VSP) system. |
