Mt Difficulty Wines

About

We are best known for some of the oldest vineyard sites in the unique microclimate of Bannockburn, Central Otago, as well as our sister label Roaring Meg.

We grow Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc.

Mission

We believe Bannockburn to be an area with very special qualities for growing grapes and that the management of the vineyard is reflected in the quality of the ultimate product. Another element of particular interest is the nature of the soils: we believe that diversity and complexity are essential elements that go toward the production of a well balanced wine.

Since 2001 Mt Difficulty Wines has become known for the Single Vineyard wines it produces. The philosophy of Single Vineyard wines is to display the unique characteristics that are particular to their site. With such a mixture of soils, microclimates and grape clones, the difference in the wines from each vineyard site is quite noticeable and significant.
