Just three kilometres from Young along Murringo Road, planted to a brisk 500 metres above sea level, Grove Estate was originally sown to vines in 1886, by Croatian settlers who brought cuttings from their farms on the Dalmatian coast. Some of these ancient plantings, emigrated at a time when much of Europe was ruled by Hapsburg emperors, remain productive to this day. Newer blocks were gradually established around these priceless parcels, ostensibly with a view to supplying leading national brands.

After founding Mornington's eminent Moorooduc Estate and decades crafting the most memorable vintages for Mornington's leading brands, Richard McIntyre established a tiny, single hectare vineyard, on a prominent, high elevation site at Arthur's Seat, with a view to producing limited yields of the most exquisite small batch wines.

Rabbit Ranch Central Otago Pinot Gris CONFIRM VINTAGE

Pinot Gris Grigio Central Otago New Zealand
Rabbits and livestock coexisted on the Central Otago sheep station for many years, but the four legged grazers couldn't keep up with the nocturnal activities of wild bunnies and became hopelessly outnumbered. They were driven off the land and were last seen heading north. The owner of Rabbit Ranch tried a number of measures to clean the property of rabbits but was unsuccessful. In the end, Mr McGregor decided to find a recipe for rabbit, appetizing to all, which would rid him of his rodent problem, while providing a suitable culinary match to his own, home grown Pinot Gris wine.

Being a mutation of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris revels in the same growing conditions which have made Central Otago known around the world for rich Pinot Noir wines. A long slow ripening period with cool nights and warm days, ripens grapes to the fullest. Rabbit Ranch was once a high country sheep station with an acreage or two of productive vines. The property fell into decline after the second world war, until direct descendants of the original proprietor, Warren and Betty McGregor decided to replant the vineyard, the rest as they say is history. Rabbits still run wild on the property, fuelled by high altitude Pinot Gris grapes, some are reputed to be the size of ponies, but that could be another tall story.
Pale straw colour with citrus hue. As soon as you lift the glass this wine will literally leap into your senses like the startled rabbit it is. It is bounding with fresh fruit aromas and flavours of the vegetable garden, apples, pears and honeysuckle. This wine is a veritable smorgasbord of tastes. A mineral acidity backbone and an off dry finish that gives the wine a delicious structure and refreshing style. Apparently it is the energizer bunny's favourite tipple.

Rabbit Ranch
Land that was once a high country sheep station is now a flourishing vineyard

Sheep and rabbits coexisted on the land for some time but the sheep couldn’t keep up with the nocturnal activity of the rabbits and were hopelessly outnumbered – they were driven off the land and were last seen heading north. The owner of Rabbit Ranch, Mr McGregor tried a number of measures to rid the land of the rabbits at the turn of the century, but was unsuccessful. In the end he decided to plant some vines and make wine.

Rabbit Ranch

The vineyard fell into decline after the second world war until direct descendants of Mr McGregor, Warren and Betty McGregor decided to replant the vineyard, and as they say – the rest is history. Rabbits still run wild on the vineyard and fuelled by high altitude Pinot grapes, some are reputed to be the size of ponies – but that could be another tall story.

Central Otago makes a distinctive style of Pinot Noir that's recognized around the world for it's concentration of flavour and earthy, gamey qualities. Rabbit Ranch is a commune of vineyards which were once part of a high altitude sheep station in the Cromwell Basin of Central Otago. Vines are predominantly planted to light, stony soils on the remains of an ancient glacial riverbed.

A long slow ripening period with cool nights and warm days as the autumn harvest approaches, ripens grapes to the fullest. The growers have enlisted the expertise of Pinot Noir specialists Chard Farm, to craft an early drinking, fruit forward wine in a lighter style with all the requisite Central Otago regionality.
