After a long lovely coastal drive from Gisborne we made it to BlackBarn Vineyards. our guide, is Roland, winemaker by trade and working with Sophie Kebbell’s Long Island Guides.I cannot say how surprised I was with the beauty of the country and modern wineries we stopped at. Loved Elephant Hill architecture and Jacks passion for wine, Craggy Wine Chardonnay and dining space at Vidal (&food!) butwhat Pinot noir knocked my socks off…. Hint initials F D?
