Old House Vineyards
Old House Vineyards sits in Nelson, on New Zealand's South Island—a region defined by cool-climate precision and bright acidity. The winery's portfolio centers on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, varieties that thrive in Nelson's maritime conditions. The flagship Pinot Noir captures the region's signature elegance, while One Tree Chardonnay and Black Fantail Reserve Pinot Noir round out a focused range. Decanter, Wine Advocate, and Wine Enthusiast have all assessed the vineyard's output, reflecting the technical rigor applied across the lineup. Nelson's cool growing season extends ripening, building complexity and restraint—qualities evident in wines built for food and aging rather than immediate extraction.
