New Zealand Australia Map Negotiations over the price the wine companies were prepared to pay for grapes in Marlborough were initially reasonably amicable but inevitably became contentious: We used to like negotiating with Mate Yukich, because he was such a gentleman. And he would sit down and you’d have a few drinks with him and you could guarantee by the end of the day everyone was happy. We got into difficult circumstances with some of the CEOs of Montana and of course in later years with Peter Hubscher of quite protracted and sometimes not very nice negotiations. The price for

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. His OE included working in Modesto, California and in the Barossa Valley, Australia before he returned to Cape Town to take over the family farm in the mid-1960s: ‘We did about 1400 tonnes of wine grapes, another 200 tonnes of table grapes, and about 120

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

Where Is New Zealand Located On The World Map From a viticultural point of view the presence of soils with a well-developed profile underlain by clay on the gently sloping hills of Hawke’s Bay is also an advantage. Such clay soils, like many limestones, have the ability to retain moisture, enabling its slow release during summer and autumn. This tendency encourages the berries to develop flavour and colour from their deeply penetrating roots as the growing season proceeds. The mainly younger gravel terraces of the rivers also provide soils suitable for viticulture, most of them being well drained. Some viticulturists

In the waning of the most recent glaciation, about 20,000 years ago, the volume of water would have been much greater and the gradient of the river steeper because sea level was lower and the Cloudy Bay shoreline 40 kilometres or more further east. Coarse gravels from this period of aggradation are more than 300 metres deep, underlying

The Glazebrooks brought to the enterprise the distinctive racing stables that had been started by Gary’s father and 40 acres of their land in what became known as the Ngatarawa Triangle. From the early 1980s, the ‘red metal’ soils that cover part of this area became among the most sought after localities for vines. These distinctive soils were also the result of the Ngaruroro changing its course. Here, in contrast to Gimblett Gravels, a better-developed topsoil overlies the deep and layered gravels of the former riverbed although it is also prone to wind erosion. The Glazebrook family planted another 20

Gisborne was also one site where the brewing companies and wine and spirits wholesale and retail outlets took a renewed commercial interest in wine producers. They were seeking to colonise the filiere by taking a financial interest in selected producers who supplied them with wine. For almost 50 years the Wohnsiedler family’s wine business in Gisborne had been marketing its port and sherry to hotels via the licensed trade. In 1960 it was in need of capital to continue in production. The Wellington regional distribution company W. and R. Smallbone Ltd took a one-third interest in Wohnsiedler’s Waiherere Wines, and

Strike Photography Grape growers, vine varieties, and wine enterprises Does the New Zealand organisation of the filiere (which is the same as in many ‘New World’ wine countries) make a difference to the varieties planted, especially in a country where they are not specified in law? The answer from Gisborne grape growers is a definite ‘yes’. Because there are very few local wineries in Gisborne, the demands of the wine companies have always influenced the varieties of grapes chosen by growers. Reid Fletcher, one of the large Gisborne growers and esteemed contributor to New Zealand grape growing, planted his first

Why Gisborne? A small winegrowing industry already existed in Poverty Bay in the late 1950s, with the Chitty, Wohnsiedler and Zame holdings being the largest, although the total area in wine grapes was under 20 hectares. These winemaking enterprises had demonstrated that they could produce grapes of quality from both vinifera and hybrid vines on the Gisborne Plain, even though the vinifera grapes were being used to make sweet ports, sherries and flavoured liqueurs. At the time, horticultural holdings on the plain also produced grapes for sale as fresh fruit. When short of fruit, in the early years, the wine
