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

Road Map Of New Zealand By 2010, the total area of vineyards on Waiheke Island and in the Matakana locality northeast of Warkworth was greater than the combined vineyard area of the two main Auckland viticultural nodes in the region during much of the twentieth century, Kumeu-Huapai and Henderson-Oratia. This group of more recent and emerging localities now has a similar area in vines to the Auckland vineyard in 1980 when the Ministry of Agriculture recorded 603 hectares. Auckland’s sequence of growth, then decline, followed by a noticeable period of growth in the last decade, has involved two interrelated changes.

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,

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

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

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

In Gisborne’s case, the structure of the wine filiere is distinctive in several ways. The large wineries established in Lytton Road are fermentation and storage facilities rather than full wineries. For much of its Gisborne life, Montana’s winery had no cellar door where the public could purchase wine, although winery manager Roger McLernon did later establish one for some years. Without a sales area, their winery had a similar atmosphere to some of the impersonal bodegas of the Rioja region of Spain. Like them, it was a processing plant for grapes. The wine was bottled, dressed and distributed from Auckland.
