Welcome to GisVin

GisVin Ltd is primarily a contract grape juicing plant established in 2001 by four growers to process Gisborne fruit for wineries without local facilities, with the aim of enhancing juice quality and in turn the reputation of the Gisborne wine industry. Prior to the establishment of GisVin these grapes had been transported in bulk trucks to their respective wineries situated mainly in Auckland with a smaller percentage in Hawkes Bay, Martinborough and Blenheim with extended traveling times compromising quality.

The state of the art facility commissioned in February 2002 processing 2,900 tonnes of grapes increasing to over 7,500  tonnes on behalf of 23 clients. Although the underlying concept is still the same GisVin now provides contract wine making with in excess of 3.5 million litres fermentation.
