Up to OJB's Photos List Chard Farm We visited the Chard Farm vineyard on the way home and sampled some of their wines. The person who was serving the wine (Keith was his name) was an absolute classic! He was a real character and had all sorts of yarns about the old days in Dunedin, etc. We bought three bottles of wine from here: a Riesling, a Sauvignon Blanc and, of course, a Pinot Noir - the variety Central Otago is famous for. The Pinot is the "Finla Mor" which was picked late in the year and has excellent flavour. It will be a top wine in a year or two, we hope. Chard Farm's web site is at: www.chardfarm.co.nz. |
