OLSSENS Central Otago, New Zealand "Established in 1989, Olssens is the pioneer vineyard of Bannockburn and the Cromwell Basin. Olssens is owned and operated by the business team of John Olssen and Heather McPherson. Heather was brought up in Central, on Mt Pisa Station and then in Cromwell itself, and John (from Dunedin) spent summer breaks with his family in various places around Central, and then picked fruit at Earnscleugh during school holidays.
So, Central is in our blood, and having travelled around New Zealand and the world, we always wanted to come back, because we love the climate in all of its seasons, and the dramatic ruggedness, peace and isolation of the landscape. A love of the land, of Central Otago, and of wine has shaped our thinking; and careful research - along with some very hard work, has enabled us to pursue a dream and see the beginnings of its realisation."
