Chasing Harvest
Chasing Harvest operates in Central Otago, New Zealand's South Island, a region defined by cool-climate intensity and diurnal temperature swings that concentrate fruit character. The winery's Pinot Noir—the flagship expression—achieves depth and structure characteristic of the region's best expressions of the variety. Alongside it, a Riesling captures the aromatic precision and mineral tension Central Otago terroir imparts, while a Sauvignon Blanc rounds the portfolio with the herbaceous clarity and acidity the region is known for. Wine Spectator has rated across the range, with the Pinot Noir earning particular recognition at 89.5 points. The Riesling follows at 87.0, and the Sauvignon Blanc at 83.0. These three wines form a coherent statement of what Central Otago's cool climate and demanding vintage conditions can produce.
