"I believe the terroir gives the wine the flavours and character. We do not disguise nor dress up the unique character with outside influences or winemaking manipulations. To myself, therefore, the soil and climate play the major role in our wines. We are merely the caretakers of the fruits of our labours. Our wines give an expression of the natural flavours found in the grapes harvested from our vineyards.” James Millton - Winemaker / Owner

Opou Vineyard was first planted in 1969 with a mixture of Chardonnay selections. The soil type is complex clay loam over river derived silts giving wines of aroma and texture.
