"If any winery challenges Pegasus Bay (Waipara) for the title of most prestigious producer from the central South Island, it’s Kaituna Valley. Every wine produced by Grant and Helen Whelan since 1993 has won a trophy, a gold or silver medal or an equivalent five- or four-star rating."CUISINE Magazine
“I just wanted to congratulate you on your outstanding Pinot! (Bone Hill Vineyard). I have widely recommended this wine as I think it is outstanding. I have been to the Central Otago region a couple of times and I believe that your wine is just as good as some of the big names from that region. The flavour is amazing.”
Cheers,

".......we tasted both a 1999 and a 2000 Pinot Noir back to back. Great arguments as to which was the better of the two but all agreed that both were superb drinking. Not bad for a 10 (and 9) year old Pinot Noir!"

I shared a bottle of your 2006 Pinot Gris with a friend the other night and wanted to tell you its the nicest white I have had the pleasure of tasting for a long time. Chris (email 7 December 2007)
I just want to tell you about a great wine experience my wife and I had last night with a bottle of 2000 Kaituna Awatere Pinot – just superb! It had the most gorgeous Pinot nose, full on – we were both quite taken even before our first taste. When that came, we were in Pinot heaven. Chris and Toni (email 3 November 2007)
