I found that this limited the number of farmers I could see to an average of five a day, which was what I wanted. I set out with my mind made up to get two sales out of the five, and I nearly always got them. I gradually worked up the centre of North Island, until I approached Rotorua, the famous thermal district. I finished one day’s work some miles south of Rotorua and had to pitch camp in the dark. The countryside was covered in manuka scrub, also called ‘ti-tree’. This grows nearly as dense as bamboo, and frequently

In many seasons there would be no damaging frosts within this period, and in fact there were none in the season just past. Apples are at their most frost tender over the same period and it is not often necessary to light frost pots in an apple block. Central Otago residents who knew the history of the region could also point to successful cultivation of the

If you can get all of your grapes doing well, if you can get consistency through the yield, take good care of them, you can get a reasonably high crop and get good-quality wine out of it as

New Zealand Road Map Robin quickly became an advisor and mentor to other Central Otago grape growers, many of whom had little formal training in viticulture. By 2000 he was managing fourteen vineyards of various sizes and advising on five others as well as consulting when the opportunities arose. In his spare time he started teaching a viticulture course at the polytechnic in Cromwell from 1992 and continued doing this into the twenty-first century. Members of the Central Otago winegrowing community, such as Steve Green of Carrick, who took the polytechnic course attest to its influence on both their own

New Zealand Map World In the early 1990s, Sir Clifford Skeggs considered buying 10 hectares in the Bannockburn area and planting a vineyard. When he explored the economics of winegrowing his commercial experience soon revealed that ‘you can’t make money off 10 hectares’. By 2000 he had accumulated sufficient land to have most of 52 hectares of predominantly Pinot Noir grapes planted on the higher slopes of Bannockburn. His unpretentious brick winery ‘Akarua was nestled alongside the road to Cornish Point and the restaurant attached to the winery was operating. He had even established a small brewery in the same

New Zealand Topo Maps Pioneers of the modern industry By the early 1980s, five growers had established vineyards in Central Otago. They were Alan Brady, founder of Gibbston Valley Wines; Verdun Burgess and Sue Edwards of Black Ridge; the Grant family of William Hill Vineyards; Rolfe and Lois Mills of Rippon Vineyard west of Wanaka; and Ann Pinckney of Taramea Wines. Pinckney was the first to establish a winery, on the Speargrass Flat east of Queenstown, and several of the other enterprises made their first wines there. This group’s motto was to ‘plant and to hell with it’. Rippon Vineyard

These pioneers developed their own enterprises from scratch with few local models to draw on while contemporaneously experimenting in the vineyard, cellar, and national and international markets. They initially had the advantage of a rapidly growing New Zealand market consisting of people seduced into wine drinking by the approachable Muller Thurgaus of the 1970s and 1980s.

From the mid-1980s, members of the Healy, Judd and Sutherland families held responsible positions at Cloudy Bay. After the French firm Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessey bought Cloudy Bay in 2003, members of these three families established their own enterprises. The Sutherland and Healy families built a winery to complement the Sutherland vineyards, and in 2008 Kevin

Where Is New Zealand On The Map With the wine industry now so important to the local economy, it might be assumed that differences between the citizens of the Marlborough district and those growing grapes would have dissipated. Yet, since the head-on court battles in the 1970s to establish the rights of landowners to grow grapes, other issues to do with the vine have taken their place. Two stand out – the voracious demands of the wine industry for water, and the effect of the vine monoculture on the landscape and ecology of the Marlborough region. Aquifers, and water rights

When the company was established, its owner, Terry Peabody, opted for employing a CEO with deep experience in New Zealand viticulture as well as knowledge of winemaking and the organisation of the industry.

In these positions he had the opportunity to accumulate an intimate understanding of many sites in most Craggy Range on the wine regions of the country that he

I think people have to understand who Frank Yukich was – he was one of New Zealand’s pioneers. He was a workaholic. He was energetic, he was arrogant, he was everything that made a good entrepreneur. The moment he saw the potential down here, he was planning, and I’ve still got the original plans of the winery. It was going to be out at Makaraka by the racecourse. Council wouldn’t hear of it and drove us in here into the industrial area and we were in production by 1971. That was our first season. Corbans quickly followed Montana into Gisborne,

His choice rested heavily on his experience of the quality of the grapes he had bought from Dave Thomas and of the wine he was able to make from them. He set modestly ambitious targets. His publicity brochure states that he is ‘dedicated to producing the world’s best Gewurztraminer’, and he means it. Reviews of the wine suggest that he is already on the way to achieving this objective. Wine reviewer Neal Martin gave Vinoptima Gewurztraminers the highest average score, over the 2004 to 2008 vintages, of all wines he tasted during his 2008 visit to New Zealand. At over

Denis remains nostalgic for the early years of the winery when the oldest vines were almost a decade old, the varieties that were to make his reputation were producing promising fruit, and he was a talented, articulate and colourful winemaker and innovative marketer of Matawhero Wines: The raw enthusiasm of life when I didn’t have any pressureI had my father looking after the running of the finances, and we had staff in the vineyard and it was copingIt was only just a hobby.

Initially, grapes were treated as just one of the crops in the Thorpe family’s portfolio. They signed a long-term contract with Corbans in the early 1970s, and as Bill recounts, ‘we got quite good at growing very big crops of Muller Thurgau. You know, 10, 11, 12 tonne to the acre and 5, 6, 7 tonne Pinot Noir. In retrospect, I guess we ran a reasonably efficient grape-growing activity. In the vine pull of 1986 they replaced their Muller Thurgau with Clone 6 Chardonnay. Grapes were not high on the list of the most profitable crops grown by the

Cabernet Franc from Hawke’s Bay and Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough. Their Chardonnay grapes came from several vineyards on what locals now call the ‘Golden Slopes’, including, in some years, the Tietjen and Witters vineyards. ‘Golden Slopes is a tongue-in-cheek take on the Cote d’Or, the name of the French departement and wine region of Burgundy. Bill summarises the locality’s qualities succinctly: ‘facing the afternoon sun, inland enough to get away from the sea breeze, well drained, quite light soil type, sort of limestone underlay’. In the 1970s and 1980s the qualities of the Chardonnay fruit from the Tietjen and Witters

Enterprises in the Gisborne story Matawhero Wines A local bookseller, Bill Irwin, with his son Denis, bought land and imported clones of Chardonnay and other varieties to begin growing grapes before establishing Matawhero Wines with its first vintage in 1975. The free-spirited Denis Irwin became an influential figure in New Zealand winemaking – first by quickly revealing his own talent to make stylish Chardonnays and Gewurztraminers that towered over the one-dimensional Muller Thurgau wines of the time, and second by becoming something of a guru to aspirant winemakers of similar disposition. Some of the most influential winemakers of the late

After the 1991 Commerce Commission ruling on collective bargaining, that system changed and so did their vineyard. They approached Penfolds for advice who recommended replanting the Muller Thurgau and Flora on grafted, phylloxera-resistant rootstock. That decision was the first step in vineyard renovation and extension that has continued to the present. In the late 1980s, Doug’s parents bought another 10 acres of land. The family decided to plant this in Clone 6 Chardonnay – one of the first in the district. At the same time, they decided to change companies to Corbans, ‘and they were keen on us trying a

At home, Bill Irwin had recognised that the varieties and clones available in New Zealand were unlikely to result in wines of the style and quality that they were seeking. By the early 1970s his letter writing and discussions internationally and with government scientists were beginning to bear fruit. He had selected a number of the varieties and clones that were to become the foundation of the Irwin vineyard, notably UCD7 Cabernet Sauvignon and UCD4 Gewurztraminer. By now, these and several others were out of quarantine, a number virus free, and established in the Irwin vineyard. As well as planting

Between Bill Thorpe’s Longbush Wines and brother John Thorpe’s Gisborne Wine Company, the Thorpe family grew a significant wine enterprise out of their business and horticultural expertise. Strike Photography with 1920 hectares, was the largest regional vineyard. The vine pull of 1986 saw the national vineyard fall to 4390 hectares by 1989. This same year, Riversun won its first Marlborough contracts to produce grafted vines. With Marlborough now expanding rapidly, opportunities abounded for specialised enterprises to supply grape growers and wine companies with certified cultivars. Riversun was one of the nurseries to grasp this opportunity. By 1998, Riversun was grafting

Vinoptima Nick Nobilo was also bitten by the Gisborne and Gewurztraminer bug. In the early 1960s, like many second-generation Dalmatian winemakers, he joined his parents small wine and orcharding business on Station Road, Huapai. Nick, the middle Nobilo son, had been a very promising rugby player in the Henderson High School First XV but was also very serious about wine. When Nick mused about continuing with his rugby, his father Nicola, the future of the family business in view, gave him clear options: ‘You play-a the rugby or you make-a the wine, not both!
