Bay of Plenty
has fewer wineries than any other region. Hence
it is no surprise that the region is more famous
for its beaches, than its wines. However, as is
so common with the wine industry in New Zealand,
small is beautiful. Visitors to the region have
several very high quality wineries experiences
to choice from.
Production area 2004: 151 hectares (includes
Waikato)
Principal Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay,
Sauvignon Blanc
