Chard Farm

Chard Farm operates in Central Otago, New Zealand's southernmost wine region, where cool-climate conditions shape the character of its Pinot Noir program. The winery's portfolio centers on single-vineyard expressions: The Viper Parkburn Pinot Noir, The Tiger Lowburn Pinot Noir, and Eliza Vineyard Pinot Noir. Central Otago's continental climate—marked by intense sun, diurnal temperature swings, and schist-rich soils—produces Pinot Noir with structural precision and aromatic intensity. The region's elevation and latitude demand meticulous viticulture; the resulting wines tend toward dark fruit, mineral tension, and fine-grained tannin. Chard Farm's vineyard-designated releases reflect this terroir specificity. Wine Advocate, Decanter, Wine Spectator, Falstaff, and Wine Enthusiast have assessed the winery's output, with The Viper Parkburn Pinot Noir reaching 95 points.
