Coal Pit is a boutique family vineyard committed to producing world-class wines from their certified organic vineyard and on-site winery.
The Coal Pit Vineyard is set on 12 hectares of land on the warm north-facing slopes of Gibbston. Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc vines were first planted in 1994 on the glacially formed schist based soils, with a mix of clones for added complexity and balance.
Coal Pit is one of the few single vineyards in Gibbston where the grapes are grown, handpicked and crafted into wines on site.
Situated in the heart of the Coal Pit vineyard, the building faces north toward the Crown Range Mountains and the Kawarau River. The winery comprises a tasting room, a temperature and humidity controlled barrel room, laboratory, meeting rooms and winemaker's accommodation.
