Gisborne Winery - Kirkpatrick Estate WineryKirkpatrick Estate Winery is nestled close to where Kirkpatrick families have farmed for 150 years, on the world-renowned Patutahi Plateau, and is one of Gisborne's terraced vineyards. KEW, Gisborne's newest winery label in 2004, was established a year earlier when Simon Kirkpatrick purchased the winery and its quality 5 to 20 year old vines of Merlot, Chardonnay, Malbec, Gewürztraminer,Viognier and Cabernet Sauvignon. With the expertise of NZ award-winning winemaker Anita Ewart-Croy, all six KEW wines have already become medal winners (in fact 46 medals to date). KEW is one of a very few winery and vineyard sites in Gisborne, this allows winemaker Anita Ewart-Croy to concentrate on producing high quality estate grown wines. The 8-hectare vineyard is planted on a terraced hill. Visitors are warmly welcomed at the Cellar Door to taste some of their excellent wine which can be accompanied by delicious KEW Anti-pasto platters. Call in and visit our Cellar Door that has absolutely exquisite views of the Patutahi Plateau and surrounding countryside where you can sip on one of the premium KEW wines and relax with a KEW antipasto platter containing KEW olives, freshly made onion marmalade, beetroot chutney, sun dried tomato, chorizo, fruit, dukka and Repongaere olive oil, served with freshly toasted bread. Or take one of our vineyard tours up to the Top Flat and viewing platform, where you can overlook the fantastic Patutahi Plateau appellation, seeing all the way out to Young Nicks head, where Captain Cook first sighted land of New Zealand. "Arguably Gisborne's most picturesque Winery & Vineyard Setting"
