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

Maps Of New Zealand Further vineyard and winery expansion The expansion of the wine industry in Marlborough to the present occurs in three further stages: the remainder of the 1980s, the 1990s, and the 2000s. In each stage a different geography of the vine emerges, strongly influenced by the expansion of existing enterprises and by new grape growers and wineries entering the industry. In the early 1980s, with neo-liberal reform looming, it would have been difficult, perhaps impossible, to predict Marlborough’s future sequence over these next three decades. Marlborough probably fared better than any other wine region during the difficult

Detailed Map Of New Zealand Enterprises in the Hawke’s Bay story Eskdale Winegrowers Ltd Kim Salonius found his sandy loam soils at Eskdale in the Esk Valley where he and his wife Trish established their boutique enterprise. The house and winery are tucked away inconspicuously in the trees on the edge of the hills. They planted vines on the flats in 1973 and 1974, with their first tiny vintage in 1976 and a larger one in 1977. They had bought 20 acres of land but most of the time they have had only about 12 acres in grapes. Kim was

Grape growers and grape varieties on the Poverty Bay flats The vineyards of any winegrowing enterprise evolve as more suitable varieties are discovered, new clones emerge, or the demographics of wine drinkers change and people favour different wines. Philip Gregan, CEO of New Zealand Winegrowers, talks about the influence of ‘legacy’ on the mix of grape varieties grown in different regions of New Zealand. He is referring to the varieties and clones of grapes that were available and popular when the region was first planted but have subsequently been pulled out and the vineyard replanted with other varieties. Some parcels

One of the advantages of cool, dry climates is that it becomes easier to impose a moderate water deficit than in a hot climate The optimum ripeness window on an individual berry may last only for a very short period of timeBecause cooler climates extend the optimum ripeness window they are more likely to enable the production of great wines. Martin’s argument can be taken further. The flatter temperature curve in the wine regions of New Zealand encourages a more ‘gentle’ sequence of growth of the vine with sufficient hot spells to stimulate the ripening of the berries. In such

From 1970, a second period is characterised by the rise of Gisborne and Hawke’s Bay. By 1980, both Gisborne and Hawke’s Bay each had twice the area in vines of the Auckland region. Gisborne’s growth resulted from Montana Wines continuing its aggressive expansion by letting contracts for landowners to grow grapes. Corbans and Penfolds were quick to respond by arranging contracts with other landholders in Gisborne. A series of well-established, but smaller, Auckland-based wine companies – such as Babich, Nobilo and Matua Valley – followed the larger companies and sourced grapes from these new regions. Figure 3.3 1960s dispersal of

Auckland West Auckland vineyards and wineries in 1960 were small, mixed holdings (Figure 2.1). All but a few of them combined growing grapes with orcharding, and most ran some livestock on the rest of their property. A few still practised market gardening. Over 90 per cent were owned by people who at the time were called Yugoslavs, after their country of origin, but colloquially known as ‘Dallies’ because many came from the Dalmatian coast of Croatia. They were family enterprises sometimes involving two families and more than one generation. The average size of vineyards in Henderson-Oratia was 5 acres (about

Tim Finn The presence of these two has always been a source of potential tension in the industry and has influenced many aspects of its organisation including the way that the industry governs itself, initially through the Wine Institute of New Zealand, now New Zealand Winegrowers. Today, as in its growth phase, many of the larger firms rely on specialist grape growers to provide some proportion of their crop. Many of these, like a number of the smaller winemaking firms, are family-based producers. Growing grapes, making wine and selling it is bound to result in disappointments. Frost threatens, mildews invade
