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

Show Me A Map Of New Zealand He added the following: As vines do not normally come into growth before October only the last half of the frost fighting season would be a worry. 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

New Zealand Location On World Map While each vine has more space to extend its roots to support the more expansive canopy, some viticulturists would counter that with fewer vines per hectare and a large canopy each vine may not be able to ripen its fruit as effectively. With experience working or consulting in most viticultural regions of New Zealand, Robin Dicey has a clear idea of the variability in the phenology of vines in different parts of the country. He uses Central Otago and Pinot Noir as his example. Bud break is usually in the first week of October,

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

New Zealand Map Hunter’s Wines, Marlborough. Hunter’s Wines that attract international winegrowers and consumers? Even the viticulturists and winemakers, those closest to the daily and seasonal development of the vine and wine, as well as the scientists, find that question difficult to answer. This chapter explores the application of human effort in Marlborough’s natural environments to tease out the complex interactions between the two. The Wairau andAwatere valleys On a clear day when your plane lands at Wellington airport from Christchurch or Auckland it is easy to imagine that the North and South Islands were joined as recently as two

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

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

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! Nick chose the wine. Within a

New Zealand vines in their climates and soils Viewed from the vine’s perspective it is limiting, although often necessary, to separate climate from soils when trying to understand why vines are cultivated by people in particular localities and regions. Grapevines have their roots in the soil and their leaves in the atmosphere. The plant reacts to stimuli from its total environment as it proceeds each year towards its biological imperative of producing fruit and seeds that will ripen, be eaten by birds and other animals, and reproduce the parent plant. In the spirit of this integrated or eco-physiological approach, I

Regional and Varietal Revolution In the second half of the twentieth century the regional distribution and varietal mix of New Zealand winegrowing was transformed. From an initial base in Auckland and Hawke’s Bay in the 1960s, substantial areas in vines have been planted in turn in Gisborne, Marlborough, the Wairarapa, Central Otago and parts of Canterbury. The vine also has established a noticeable presence in the Auckland region at locations beyond its traditional base in West Auckland around Matakana and on Waiheke Island; in the Waikato at Te Kauwhata; and in Nelson. Contemporaneously with this regional expansion, New Zealand winegrowers

A transforming moment The modern New Zealand wine industry developed out of the assortment of wines and vines established in a few regions by about 1960. In Auckland, it was also driven by a group of enthusiasts who saw the development of wine in New Zealand as one part of changing the wider culture. Its spiritual home was Paul Groshek’s Muaga Vineyards in Candia Road, Henderson, where conversation flowed freely, stimulated by Groshek’s wide interests and lubricated by his simple, unadulterated table wine – even on Sundays. The writer Rex Fairburn’s polemical broadsheet Crisis in the Wine Industry, published by
