Breidecker 2008

The German-style wine is named after New Zealand’s fi rst wine-making pioneer, Heinrich Breidecker, who planted a vineyard in New Plymouth in the 1870’s before moving North to Hokianga. In 1980, a cultivar derived from a Muller Thurgau cross with the Chancellor (a.k.a. Seibel)
and released in Germany in 1962, was found to show promise in New Zealand.
