Valli is the creation of pioneering Otago winemaker - Grant Taylor. Grant’s name is synonymous with Otago Pinot Noir. He has been crafting wines in the region since 1993 when there were only 20 hectares planted, and today there are over 2,000. Over the past 27 years, he has made the first wines for a number of iconic Otago wineries, but now the serious focus is on his own creation - Valli.

Established in 1998 and named after his Great-Great Grandfather - Giuseppe Valli, who immigrated to New Zealand from an Italian winemaking background, Grant founded Valli with the aim of creating true representations of Otago’s subregions with unflinching intensity and purity. This was also a first for the region, as no one had attempted to capture, let alone master the developing subregional plot that has now begun to unfold as the next exciting chapter in the Otago wine story. Over the years, Valli has produced award-winning Pinot Noirs and white wines which highlight the subregions of Otago, receiving numerous accolades worldwide. Beside producing Pinot Noir in Gibbston, Valli also produces Pinot Noirs from Bannockburn and Bendigo in Central Otago, and from Waitaki Valley in North Otago; as well as Pinot Gris and Riesling from Waitaki; and skin ferment Pinot Gris Orange wine from Gibbston.

With established Otago winemaker Jen Parr joining Grant in the winery since 2015, they aim to create wines with honesty, integrity, and most importantly, a sense of place. Today, Valli is a true iconic wine estate in New Zealand, producing high-quality premium wines in every vintage.
