My vacation rages, and so do our mystery photos!
This one, not one of my photos, is from a rocky vineyard that produces a limited quantity of fruit. But the juice it produces is quite coveted, if little known…Anyway, enough with the hints! Hit the comments with your thoughts as to just where in the wine world this photo is from. If anyone gets this one, head straight to the head of the class!

Great photo, wow can’t believe how rocky that looks. The only area in the Cape that has rocky slopes like that is Cederberg – dave nieuwoudt’s valley they say 🙂
Have a great weekend.

Yes, it is New Zealand, not too far from Christchurch. Specifically, it’s in North Canterbury.
This block is part of the micro-maker of pinot noir, Bell Hill. The owners love limestone!
