According to the late humorist AK Grant, “Canterbury is coming to be symbolised not by its [rugby] colours, which are red and black, but by its wines, which are red and white.”
Most of the province’s vines lie around the North Canterbury town of Waipara. Straddling the Christ-church-Picton highway, the vineyards lie draped over flat to sloping terrain – in some cases, steeply sloping. One of Waipara’s greatest assets is that it looks like classic wine country.
North Canterbury is our fourth-largest wine region, behind Marlborough, Hawke’s Bay and Otago. As recent releases from three top producers show, it is the source of some of the country’s most striking and delicious wines.
