Mt Beautiful is owned by husband and wife team, David and Leigh Teece. After extensive exploration of New Zealand’s wine regions, the Teece’s chose the Cheviot Hills of North Canterbury, on New Zealand’s South Island. Their Mt Beautiful vineyard lies on the southern banks of the Waiau River, near the settlement of Spotswood, north of the town of Cheviot. The Mt Beautiful vineyard is named for a nearby landmark peak that is located between the vineyard and the sea, shielding the vines from harsh coastal winds.

“This complex, deep ruby coloured Pinot Noir is fragrant with dried flowers and forest floor aromas. On the palate it shows ripe blackberry fruit with a hint of exotic spice and fine, savoury tannins. Full-bodied and strongly structured, this wine is already drinking well, but will gain further structure and develop beautifully with cellaring over the next three years.” – The Winery
