Q

Describe why the soil is unique in Gimblett Gravels

A

The boundaries of the Gimblett Gravels district were defined solely by soil type. The Ngaruroro River changed course in 1876. Where the river once flowed, vines now grow in exceptionally free-draining, low-fertility soils, with bands of sand, silt and clay at various depths. In these warm, stony soils, compared to most other parts of the Bay, the vines flower and ripen their grapes earlier with higher sugar, extract and softer acidity.
