Rippon Vineyard is a family-owned and operated winery located in the stunning Central Otago region of New Zealand. The vineyard has been in the Mills family for four generations, dating back to 1912 when the land was first acquired. However, it wasn't until 1982 that the family began their winemaking venture, producing their first vintage that year.

The Rippon estate is situated on the western shores of Lake Wānaka, overlooking the majestic Southern Alps. The unique terroir, including schist soils and a continental climate, creates an exceptional environment for grape growing. Rippon has been farmed biodynamically for decades, with the family's deep commitment to sustainability and connecting the land to the wines.

Rippon's wines are true reflections of this special place, crafted with minimal intervention and wild fermentation. While the winery produces a range of varietals, including Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc, they are perhaps best known for their exceptional Pinot Noirs. Several of their Pinot Noir bottlings, such as the Tinker's Field and Jokyim, have received high praise and accolades from wine critics around the world.

Over the past four decades, Rippon has established itself as one of the premier producers in Central Otago, known for their dedication to terroir-driven, elegant, and age-worthy wines. Visitors to the property can experience the stunning natural beauty of the estate, as well as learn more about the winemaking philosophy and history of this family-owned legacy.
