About Valli Wine

Grant Taylor's been making waves in Central Otago since 1993, and VALLI, which he founded in 1998, is all about showcasing what makes each sub-region special, from Gibbston to Bannockburn to Bendigo. These days he's partnered with Jen Parr to craft wines with real honesty and sense of place, and you can taste them at Kinross, a finalist for NZ Cellar Door of the Year that sits right next to their Gibbston vineyard. Just give them a heads up if you want a VALLI-specific tasting.
