Shaky Bridge Wines is located below the southern 45th parallel in the magnificent Alexandra Basin of New Zealand’s stunningly beautiful Central Otago. The Alexandra Basin is the most southern wine growing region on the planet, so the growing environment is all about cool climate viticulture. Shaky Bridge has selected grape varieties and clones that thrive in the natural conditions of the basin with the goal of producing intensely flavoured wines of superb quality.
