– Our Location-
The Vineyard
The founders of the vineyard, had worked in Tuscany for many years prior to establishing their own estate in Hawke’s Bay. For them it was only a question of where to start up in New Zealand. They were keen to find an area with “poor soil” that is found in the best wine growing regions in the world.
They were one of the first to risk their entire livelihood in this area of “poor soil”. They decided to establish themselves in the as yet “undesignated” area of what today is known as the Gimblett Gravels Winegrowing District in Hawke’s Bay.
Hawke’s Bay was already a leading winegrowing district in New Zealand, but the 800 hectares pocket of this particular free-draining gravel soil (Gimblett Gravels) was still largely unused wasteland. Recognising the great potential of the favourable combination of climate and site for the production of super-premium red wines, they decided to establish Unison Vineyard in this location.
