'Gisborne Peak is a labour of love for Bob and Barbara Nixon. From small beginnings as a hobby block in 1978, it has grown into the impressive vineyard that spreads out before the wide verandas of the picturesque cellar door. Taste the very good Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, perhaps as an accompaniment to pizza from Gisborne Peak's wood-fired oven.' - Ralph Kyte-Powell
