The Best Wineries in Gisborne, New Zealand
With a sunny and temperate climate and relatively remote eastern North Island location, Gisborne has become New Zealand’s third largest wine-producing region. Chardonnay is the dominant varietal, though the area has received acclaim for Pinot Noir, Gewürztraminer, Syrah, and Pinot Gris wines, too. Here’s a look at what the keenest connoisseurs can expect from some of the region’s best wineries.
