Valli's Gibbston vineyard is next door to Kinross, growing some of the best
Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris wines that Gibbston has ever seen. Grant Taylor's
name is synonymous with Central Otago Pinot Noir and is one of NZ's most
awarded Pinot Noir winemakers. Most famous for winning the trophy for 'Best
Pinot Noir' at the one of the world's largest wine competitions in London, not
once, but four times – a feat achieved by no other winemaker in the world.

An Otago native, Grant's wine journey began 18 years before establishing
Valli, in Napa, California where he helped establish two different world
renowned wineries and at the same time becoming a renowned winemaker. Upon his
return to New Zealand, he became the first winemaker at Gibbston Valley
Winery. During the past 19 years he has made the first wines for a number of
iconic Otago wineries, but now concentrates on Valli, alongside his talented
Head Winemaker, Jen Parr.

Valli was established in 1998 with the aim of creating true representations of
Otago's subregions; Bendigo, Waitaki, Bannockburn and Gibbston. Grant and Jen
express these with unflinching intensity and purity, it was also a first for
the region – no one had attempted to capture, let alone master the developing
subregional plot that has now begun to unfold as the next exciting chapter in
the Otago wine story. This wine experience will immerse you in the stunning
world of Valli wine.
