Chard Farm

Chard Farm make wines that are complex and interesting, textural and elegant, wine that shows good fruit/acid balance and genuine flavour length.

Central Otago has some of the best cool climate grapes to be found anywhere. The grapes are always very clean and display vivid and expressive flavours. The natural cool climate acid in the juice keeps the flavours pure and bright.

Central Otago has mineral soils. All the soils in Central Otago are based on schist rock and quartz that contain very little organic matter (actual dirt). The vines are literally growing in a bed of minerals. This is important in the final product because it is the presence of these minerals that will give the wine the sought after expressive and long flavour length.
