Waipara Wines

Waipara Valley is an area in North Canterbury well known for its wines. We visited four of the local wineries while we were in the area.

Terrace Edge was the first.

The wine I enjoyed most from this place was Albarino—a white wine (that I'd never heard of before) produced from a Spanish grape variety.

Georges Road was the next on Dave's list.

They're not open to the public yet, so not easy to find. Dave rang first and was given directions. There were no signs at the gate—the picture above was part way into their property.

Their Rosé was great, and the Riesling was absolutely fabulous. We enjoyed their Syrah as well.

And met this cutie!

Pegasus Bay was a magnificent place.

Lots of trees—beautiful grounds.

Once again, the Riesling won the day.

Lastly, we stopped in at Waipara Hills on the way home.

Another magnificent place, and a range of lovely wines.
