Actor Sam Neill planted his original 2 hectare vineyard, the First Paddock site, at Gibbston in Central Otago in 1993. That vineyard has now been doubled in size and two more blocks added, the 3 hectare Alex Blocks vineyard perched above the Clutha River at Alexandra and the 5.5 hectare Redbank Paddocks site in the Earnscleugh Valley.

Riesling is a white wine grape variety that is grown in many regions around the world, but it is particularly associated with Germany and Alsace, France. Riesling wines are known for their high acidity, minerality and a wide range of styles. They can range from dry and crisp with green apple, citrus, and mineral notes to sweet and honeyed with flavors of apricot, peach, and nectarine. The sweetness level in Riesling depends on the ripeness of the grapes, and winemakers can choose to make dry, off-dry, or sweet styles.

Riesling wines are considered to be very versatile, they pair well with a wide range of foods, particularly seafood, sushi, and spicy Asian cuisine, as well as a wide range of cheeses.

Riesling wines are known for their aging potential, and many high-quality German Rieslings can be aged for many years and still retain their complexity, balance, and freshness. It's also worth mentioning that the grape is known for its ability to express the terroir, meaning that Riesling wines from different regions can taste quite different from one another, even from one side of a mountain to the other.
