Mount Edward

There are many characters in New Zealand winemaking and one of the biggest has to be Duncan Forsyth: madman or genius, planting vines in the cold Central Otago takes some nerve.

Duncan’s vineyards sit right on the edge of what is possible, given the marginal climate, and are tended with a biodynamic approach that includes the reassuring chaos of pigs and chickens. Even so, the wines, especially his exquisite Riesling, have won praise worldwide – proof positive that sometimes it pays to be little bit different.
