Longbush Wines

Longbush Wines

Longbush Wines is a family-owned and operated winemaking company located in Gisborne, New Zealand. Owner John Thorpe has been winemaking for 29 years and still finds the annual harvest exciting and challenging, "there are always new developments in the business, different weather patterns effecting harvest and new markets to explore". The brand Longbush Wines originates from a winding stretch of native forest called 'Longbush' which runs alongside the Waimata River in Gisborne. Waimata is owned by John’s elder sister Dame Anne and her husband Jerry Salmond and has been restored into an eco-sanctuary for NZ native birds and plant species. Annie is a professor of Anthropology and in 2014 she was awarded New Zealander of the Year - a great honour. The selection of wines Longbush produces plays to the region's strengths, Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Viognier and Merlot of which a Merlot-Rose is also made. Longbush also produces their own Methode Champanoise under the Cosmos, Eclipse and Luna brands.
