SHAKY BRIDGE
Shaky Bridge is a boutique winery located in Central Otago, New Zealand's southernmost wine region and one of the world's premier destinations for cool-climate Pinot Noir. Named after the historic suspension bridge spanning the Manuherikia River near Alexandra, Shaky Bridge captures the pioneering spirit and distinctive terroir of this remarkable wine-growing region.
The vineyards are situated around Alexandra, one of the warmest and driest subregions of Central Otago. Warm summer days, cool nights, low annual rainfall, and long autumns provide ideal conditions for slow, even ripening, allowing grapes to develop intense flavour while retaining vibrant natural acidity and freshness.
Shaky Bridge is best known for its Pinot Noir, which displays aromas of red cherry, wild raspberry, plum, violet, thyme, and subtle spice. On the palate, the wines combine silky tannins, bright acidity, and refined structure with the purity and elegance that have made Central Otago Pinot Noir internationally renowned.
In addition to Pinot Noir, the winery produces expressive Pinot Gris, Riesling, and other cool-climate varieties. The white wines are fresh and aromatic, offering flavours of citrus, pear, stone fruit, floral notes, and lively mineral freshness that reflect the region's unique Alpine environment.
The winery focuses on careful vineyard management, low yields, and minimal intervention winemaking to preserve the character of each vintage. Gentle handling in the winery allows the fruit and terroir to remain the defining features of every wine.
Today, Shaky Bridge is recognised as an excellent representative of Central Otago, producing elegant wines that showcase the purity, intensity, and distinctive personality of one of New Zealand's finest wine regions.
