On the drive from Auckland to Hawke’s Bay, we passed by Bay of Plenty, which is a vast region with fertile soil and rich agriculture products. 1% of wines are produced in this region. However, no commercial vineyard exists here, all the vines were pulled out in couple decades ago because the high humidity and fertile land are not suitable for grape growing. The only three wineries- Mill’s Reef, Leveret Estate and Steve bird Winery all import grapes from other regions such Marlborough, Hawke’s Bay, Central Otago making all styles of wines.

从奥克兰驱车到霍克海湾的路上，我们路经了丰盛湾，这片壮阔的土地拥有肥沃的土壤和丰富的农产品，且出产1%的葡萄酒。可是却不适合于种植商业化的葡萄园，几十年前所有的葡萄藤都被连根拔起，过度潮湿的气候带给葡萄藤来了大量疾病。这里仅有的3个酒庄分别是 Mill’s Reef, Leveret Estate and Steve bird Winery，他们都通过从外地－Marlborough, Hawke’s Bay, Central Otago 等等购买葡萄的方式来酿酒。
