It is best known for its sought-after Pinot Noir expressions, but produces wine from a range of other grape varieties including Riesling, Gewürztraminer and the near-unique Osteiner. The vineyard, which is widely regarded as one of the world's most spectacular, was established by Rolfe and Lois Mills in 1975. It covers 15 hectares (37 acres) on the banks of Lake Wanaka, which provides temperature moderation for the vineyard and a degree of protection from frost. The soils are mostly schist with clay, gravel and loess; the vineyard is farmed biodynamically without irrigation. Rolfe Mills is the third generation of his family to farm here with the property remaining within the family to this day. In the winery, all wines are fermented using ambient yeasts. It is one of the most popular winery visits and event venues in the country thanks to the stunning views across the water to the Southern Alps. A range of classic Central Otago wines are made at Rippon, with a focus on Pinot Noir and Riesling. The Pinot Noir comes from the western side of the vineyard, which is planted on a north-facing aspect. Many of these vines date back to the first Rippon plantings, and are the source of several bottlings in the Mature Vine series: Emma's Block, Tinker's Field and Tinker's Bequest Pinot Noirs. A further Pinot Noir from younger vines is labeled Jeunesse (Youth), and a Gamay is also made.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42828786630794,"sku":"","price":216.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/9_71ebc8f5-b54c-489a-9776-d721845c2caa.png?v=1678258242","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/en-mc\/products\/2016-rippon-mature-vine-pinot-noir","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
