The New Zealand wine industry has earned a great international reputation and remarkable success in a relatively short time. The long growing season and cool maritime climate here makes conditions ideal for grape growing, producing some highly distinctive, premium quality wines.
International awards have been given to New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc in recent years and our Chardonnay and red wines such as Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blends are also now receiving growing international recognition.
In New Zealand, the major grape growing areas are located in the sunny, dry eastern regions. The main grape growing regions are Gisborne and Hawke's Bay, located on the east coast of the North Island and Marlborough which is in the north-east of the South Island. Other key areas are Auckland, Martinborough, Nelson, Canterbury and Central Otago.
