Producers & Purveyors of fine Pinot for Gentry & Ratbags Since 1993
I wanted to produce a good pinot noir that would, at the very least, be enjoyed by my family and friends. Frankly, my friends will pretty much drink anything, so this didn't seem too hard. To our great surprise, our first vintage in 1997 was much better than we hoped, in spite of a difficult growing season. Today, at Two Paddocks, we are producing five different pinot noir from four organically grown vineyards in the three main valleys of Central Otago. We still only produce two varieties - pinot noir and a tiny volume of riesling. My one goal is to produce world class pinot noir.

Our Vineyards
With land in all three major wine valleys of Central Otago and a long term vision for small single vineyard pinot noir blocks spread throughout region. Each have a unique soil and climatic blueprint.

Sam's original vineyard. Planted here in the heart of the Gibbston Valley in 1993. 100% Pinot Noir. 4.6 hectares.
The Last Chance
A dramatically beautiful site in Earnscleugh, ideal for Pinot Noir. Two hectares only, planted in 1998.
