Welcome to Kerry Wines!
Domaine Thomson is a family-owned producer, with vineyards and homes in Central Otago, New Zealand and Gevrey-Chambertin, France. Proprietors PM and David Hall-Jones are dedicated to making the best Pinot Noir in two hemispheres – wines that express the individual terroir of each region.
Their Surveyor Thomson wine from Central Otago is named after David’s great-great-grandfather, New Zealand's first Surveyor General. The 14ha Pinot Noir vineyard, overlooking the Pisa Moorings lakeside settlement, has been planted as four distinct blocks, each with its own special characteristics. They grow only one variety: “single vineyard” Pinot Noir.
Prominent New Zealand winemaker, Dean Shaw, of the Central Otago Wine Company, produced the first Surveyor Thomson Pinot Noir in 2003 and continues to this day. Dean has worked many vintages in Burgundy under the guidance of master French vintners, and has developed a reputation for producing Pinot Noir with as little intervention as possible, creating wines that are a true expression of Central Otago's climate and landscape.
