The discovery of gold drove miners to prospect much of Central Otago in the 1860's. More than 200 miners panned and cradled its gold bearing sands on the West Bank of the Clutha River, now bordering Three Miners Vineyards. Located near the historic township of Clyde, the vineyards are nestled between the undulating mountains of the Old Man Range and the swift waters of the mighty Clutha. The 33 hectare estate began it's transformation in 2000. The hand-tendered vines thrive on the region's harsh and unforgiving climatic extremes, but it is these extremes that are responsible for producing wines with depth and elegance. Three Miners produces quality award winning wines – Pinot Noir, Gewurztraminer, Riesling and Pinot Gris from their Earnscleugh Valley Vineyard near Alexandra, Central Otago. Strikingly beautiful, Central Otago's unrivalled scenery makes a fitting home for Three Miners Vineyards. |
