Tripping Around the Vines | Feature<br />
the French concept of terroir with modern day<br />
thinking; to define, protect and market wine.<br />
The district is 800 hectares strictly determined<br />
by gravelly soils, laid down by the old Ngaruroro<br />
River, which were exposed in the 1860’s. (More<br />
of this in our next <strong>WineNZ</strong> issue, as we visit and<br />
discuss how the gravels grapes produce superior<br />
award-winning wine.)<br />
As our focus is on wine and its production<br />
methods, we were most impressed by the pristine<br />
vineyards and surroundings, the architecture<br />
fitting in with the surrounding area, and<br />
professionalism of all the staff of Graggy Range, is<br />
indicative of very proud owners/caretakers.<br />
We purchased a Rose Gimblett Gravels and a<br />
Merlot Gimblet Gravels, which will not take us too<br />
long to enjoy. Havelock North’s Craggy Range’s<br />
rugged vastness and the unique history of its<br />
Gimblett Gravels and delicious wines left us with<br />
lasting memories. Lovely place to visit.<br />
