Gisborne’s wine region is also known as the “Chardonnay Capital of New Zealand” due to the quality of its Chardonnay grapes.
The Gisborne wine region is relatively small, with around 2000 hectares of vineyards. The region has a mild maritime climate, with warm summers and cool winters, which is ideal for growing grapes. The soils in the region are mostly alluvial, which are fertile and well-draining.
The most widely planted grape variety in the Gisborne region is Chardonnay, followed by Gewürztraminer, Viognier, and Pinot Gris. Other grape varieties grown in the region include Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Syrah.
