The ‘Doctors Flat' vineyard of Steve Davies has all the ingredients for first-class Pinot Noir wine. Steve has over 20 years of winemaking experience, more than half of it in Central Otago, having made wine with Akarua, Carrick and Wild Earth. Establishing his 3 ha vineyard in Bannockburn in 2002 by planting the Dijon 114, 115 and 777 clones in five blocks, organic viticultural practices have been employed from the outset to maximise vineyard health and fruit quality. The first wines for the Doctors Flat label were made in the 2008 vintage. The wines are to be released in the near future. www.doctorsflat.co.nz
