When the sale of Cloudy Bay was announced the two families launched their plan to build their own winery to operate in conjunction with Dog Point Vineyard. The Sutherlands brought to the partnership access to their 240 hectares of mature vineyards.

New Zealand Political Map Nick Mills, who took over the viticulture and winemaking at Rippon from 2002 (his father died in 2000), attributes his own commitment to the vine and wine to Rudi Bauer. Between 1989 and 1992, when Nick was in his late teens and Rudi was working at Rippon, they spent time together – pruning, planting and talking. ‘Rudi sort of instilled in me the feeling that viticulture and winegrowing was something that I could potentially fall in love with,’ says Nick. ‘I got inspired at that time.’ But Nick had another talent to explore. He was a

His family owned land in the Western Cape, South Africa, and he went to school in Cape Town before completing qualifications in viticulture and oenology at Stellenbosch University.

Together with winemaker Blair Walters, Stewart Elms put Felton Road on the world wine map. His family had been New Zealand hoteliers for four generations in Dunedin and, without planning it, working in the family business provided Stewart Elms with the ideal mix of knowledge and experience to start a small, elite vineyard and winery. He and his wife managed the City Hotel for sixteen years, a tenure which coincided with the period

In the fifteen years since New Zealand winegrowing had begun to stir, some inklings of its future are apparent. Gisborne (Poverty Bay) stands out as having the highest proportion of grapes being produced by growers rather than wineries. In 1975 the 98 grape growers of Poverty Bay produced 84 per cent of the grapes made into wine. The next highest proportion was in Hawke’s Bay where 22 per cent of the grapes made into wine came from grape growers. By 1980 the number of grape growers in Gisborne had nearly doubled to 190 and Hawke’s Bay numbers had also increased

Hoar frost on the vines at Akarua’s Cairnmuir Road vineyard in Central Otago. Akarua Winery, Central Otago rock-crushing machines alter the soil profile and even the subsoil to make areas freer draining and easier to work. Environmental learning in the dispersion of the vine It is tempting to interpret the dispersion of the vine in New Zealand in the second half of the twentieth century solely through the soils and climates of the evolving regions. At a macro scale, several aspects of the New Zealand climate, soils and relief are pertinent. Both islands are characterised by strong west to east

Hawke’s Bay, with its much lower precipitation (under 800 mm compared with over 1400 mm in West Auckland), lower humidity and higher sunshine hours, is a more suitable natural environment for growing grapes to make table wine. In addition, its soils are more varied and versatile. They include loams, clays and river-deposited gravels. These natural advantages of Hawke’s Bay became clear from the 1960s when table wines became more important. But the heavier soils and higher precipitation in West Auckland have not precluded excellent wines being produced there, provided the standard of vineyard management and vinification is high. Enterprises such
