Welcome to Folding Hill Wine Company e-cellar door

Handmade from Central Otago

Folding Hill is a small family-owned vineyard nestled on a northern terrace of Bendigo Creek, Central Otago. It was established in 2003 by Tim and Nikki Kerruish and has been an integral part of family life for the couple and their 4 children ever since. The stunningly beautiful 4.5-hectare vineyard consists predominantly of pinot noir with a small block of chardonnay planted in 2016. The vineyard is Biogro certified organic.

Bendigo’s long hot summers and free draining gravel soils provide our carefully selected clones and rootstocks with perfect growing conditions. Coupled with meticulous organic viticulture and low cropping levels the vines are enabled to produce fruit of the highest quality.

Our approach to winemaking is based on the traditional philosophy and practices of the 'Old World'. We believe that hand picking optimally ripe fruit and then gently guiding it through vinification with as little intervention as possible allows us to produce elegant wines with flavour and structure that authentically reflect the special place they come from - wines that really are "Handmade from Central Otago.”
