Mt. Beautiful Wines: A Premium North Canterbury Wine Brand
Mt. Beautiful is a premium North Canterbury wine brand that is grown and produced at Spotswood, 9 kilometres north of Cheviot. The winery was established in 2003 by David Teece, a renowned economist and entrepreneur who has a passion for wine.
The vineyard is situated on the slopes of Mt. Beautiful, which rises to an elevation of 1,100 metres above sea level. The unique terroir of the region provides ideal growing conditions for grapes that produce high-quality wines with distinctive flavours and aromas.
Mt. Beautiful Wines produces a range of varietals including Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir and Syrah. All their wines are made from estate-grown grapes that are carefully selected and handpicked to ensure only the best fruit goes into each bottle.
The winemaking philosophy at Mt. Beautiful Wines is based on minimal intervention in the vineyard and cellar to allow the natural flavours and aromas of the grapes to shine through in each bottle. This approach results in wines that are true expressions of their terroir with distinct regional characteristics.
One thing that sets Mt. Beautiful Wines apart from other wineries is their commitment to sustainability practices both in the vineyard and cellar operations. They have implemented several initiatives such as using solar power for energy needs, recycling water used during production processes back into irrigation systems for vines or gardens around buildings on site; composting grape skins after pressing them so they can be used as fertilizer later down line; using lightweight glass bottles instead heavier ones which reduces carbon footprint during transportation process etc.
Mt.Beautiful's flagship wine is its Sauvignon Blanc which has won numerous awards over years including gold medals at prestigious international competitions like Decanter World Wine Awards or International Wine Challenge etc., making it one of the most sought-after wines in New Zealand.
In addition to producing premium wines, Mt. Beautiful Wines also offers a range of experiences for visitors to the vineyard. These include wine tastings, vineyard tours, and food and wine pairing events. The winery has a beautiful tasting room with stunning views of the surrounding countryside where visitors can relax and enjoy their wines while taking in the scenery.
Overall, Mt. Beautiful Wines is a premium North Canterbury wine brand that produces high-quality wines with distinctive regional characteristics. Their commitment to sustainability practices sets them apart from other wineries in region making them an excellent choice for those who are looking for quality wine that is produced responsibly and sustainably.
