New Zealand has ten main wine growing
regions, each displaying a great diversity in climate and terrain.
Differences in climate may be illustrated by the variation
in the harvesting date of Chardonnay. In the warmer and more
humid northern regions of Northland, Auckland and Gisborne,
Chardonnay might begin to be harvested in late February or
early March while in Central Otago, the world's most southerly
Chardonnay grapes may first be picked in mid to late April
- a difference of 6-7 weeks.
