My first adventure was the snakebite. I was eleven, and I had been out in the woods in the spring. There was a sheltered valley with a stream, the Yeo, running down it, which led from my Aunt Rosalie’s lake at Arlington; a lush little valley with huge clumps of a broad-leaved plant like a giant rhubarb. I saw a snake twisting through the undergrowth beside a ride through the wood where it had been sunning itself. I caught it by the tail, got out my handkerchief and stowed it in that, then fastened the four corners together and set

New Zealand Google Maps Their original application had been to plant 60 acres in three lots of 20 acres. Phil Rose was not one to convert their farm to grape growing without further investigation. He knew the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries scientist Paul Pollack who was now stationed at Gisborne and specialising in vineyard management so they went to see him. Whereas Pollack was very supportive of their winegrowing plans, the Gisborne growers they visited were saying: ‘What are you going to grow grapes in Marlborough for? It’s too cold down there. What are you putting in?’ And I

North Island New Zealand Map The site of the Elms vineyard is especially favourable. Its shallow valley faces due north and is protected from wind by low hills on either side. About 5 kilometres to its west, the main ridge of the Carrick Range runs north-south. Its highest peak is Mt Difficulty (1285 m) and most of the ridge is over 1000 metres. This ridge protects the Elms and Calvert vineyards, indeed most of the Bannockburn vineyards, from the worst of the nor’westers. The Calvert vineyard is across the road from the Elms vineyard. Calvert’s slopes are gentler and its

World Map Of New Zealand The most favoured localities, very suitable for cool climate wine production, are the semi arid brown-grey earth soils at Bannockburn, those from Cromwell to Pisa and about Alexandra to Clyde. All have mean January temperatures of 17°C or higher and 1000 to 1250 GDD in degrees Celsius October to April. The thermal conditions at any of the above locations can be enhanced by shelter, slope, and aspect. Shelter adds some 100 GDD. On the other hand, each additional metre in height loses about one GDD but increasing altitude can make sites less frost

A Map Of New Zealand He and his wife Glennice had bought a 10-acre property and house in 1982 opposite the quarry of Fraser Shingle. At the time the only grapes he knew of in the area were a parcel on Mere Road, although Chris Pask had begun accumulating land fronting Gimblett Road from 1980 and planting it in the early 1980s. Alan’s search for land was wide and deep. By the time he bought the land, he had dug to the water table in Mere Road and decided that with 8 to 12 metres of gravel beneath them the

South New Zealand Map Well, at that time Kim was probably at the cutting edge of the industry. He had varietals, Chardonnay, Cabernet, Pinot Noir, just table wine. And I used to go up there weekends and talk with him, work with him a bit and used to say, well you know, ‘I’d like to start a small winery’, that sort of thing. And in the end he said, ‘Well, Gary Glazebrook comes out and says the same as what you do, so perhaps you two should talk to each other.’ So Kim introduced us. Alan Limmer adds his own

Map Of South Island Of New Zealand These new grape growers had much to learn about growing grapes for table wine. However, being mainly families with horticultural knowledge, they learned quickly. Most of them initially grew Muller Thurgau and aimed for high yields – often at least 10 tonnes to the acre (24 tonnes to the hectare) – to gain maximum revenue. Muller Thurgau was, of course, ascendant by 1980 with 1819 hectares of it planted in New Zealand, whereas Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, the two vinifera varieties with the largest share of the national vineyard at the time, had

Within a week of the announcement, Marlborough Provincial Federated Farmers had met and staked out its position. Its president, Mr F. J. Murray, raised two main concerns with the Marlborough Express – hormone sprays and corporate farming: he drew attention to the restrictions on the use of chemicals near vineyards and their disturbing economic and farm management effects on the lucerne, pea, fruit and grain growing industries in the district near the vineyardOnce this company is established, the second bad

They fattened their lambs on these pastures, although the lambs had to be ‘off to the works’ by the end of November before they lost condition as the early summer droughts set in.
