Tarras

Tarras is a small farming settlement in Central Otago, in the South Island of New Zealand. It is located on the slopes above the upper reaches of the Clutha Valley, on State Highway 8 not far from the southern end of the Lindis Pass. Most farms in the Tarras district run sheep, principally merino sheep farmed for their super-fine wool. Other sheep breeds, beef cattle and deer are also raised and in recent years a number of vineyards have been established in the region growing mainly pinot noir and riesling grapes.
