From Alsace to Central Otago, Paul Pujol’s journey has shaped some of the world’s most elegant cool-climate wines. 🍇 At Prophet’s Rock, he’s crafting Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Noir that reflect the unique schist and clay soils of Central Otago.

In this interview, Paul shares his wine philosophy, his Burgundy connection with François Millet, and why Prophet’s Rock is one of New Zealand’s most exciting wineries. Thank you to Paul and the Prophet’s Rock team for taking the time to chat with us and take us around their amazing winery.
