Our story

In 1997 the land that sits beneath a range of 'bald hills' in Bannockburn, Central Otago was identified as the ideal place to produce cool-climate wines. Vines were lovingly planted in this stunning scene and so began the Bald Hills story.

Bald Hills Friends and Lovers Pinot Rosé  2023

Mindfood Magazine

A fragrant and enticing bouquet of white flowers and fresh red berry fruits. There are scents of red fruit tea and apple adding to the bouquet’s allure. A crisp and dry wine touches the palate first then fruit flavours the reflect the bouquet follow. Plenty of acidity, super fine fruit tannins and a light chalky mouthfeel frame the wine very nicely.

Bald Hills Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019

95 points, EXCELLENT

A complex and detailed bouquet with scents of wood smoke and barrel spice framing dark cherry and baked red berry fruit aromas. Notes of dried raspberry, boysenberry, violet, and a clay-soil savoury quality follow. Equally complex on the palate, with a core of red berry fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet, supported by firm tannins and plenty of acidity. Well made, lengthy, and still developing.

Bald Hills Friends and Lovers Pinot Rosé  2023

94 points, 5 STAR

Finely scented and enticing, the bouquet shows watermelon, lemon zest, fig and rockmelon nuances, leading to a refreshing palate that's light and lingering. It's instantly appealing with youthful charm and drinkability.

Bald Hills Bannockburn 3 Acres Pinot Noir 2022

93 points, 5 STAR

It's beautifully fruited and inviting on the nose, showing dark plum, rich floral, olive and toasted nut aromas. The palate delivers succulent fruit flavours with supple texture and elegantly infused tannins, making it silky and flowing to a satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2030

Bald Hills Single Vineyard Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2019  

5 Star

The full, bright ruby 2019 vintage (*****) was hand-harvested and matured for a year in French oak barriques (typically about 30 per cent new).  A refined, youthful wine, it is mouth filling, savoury and well-structured, with fresh acidity and strong, ripe cherry, plum and spice flavours, showing excellent complexity.  Best drinking 2025+.
