Wellington is the official name for the large region which occupies the southern section of the North Island. Wairarapa, on the lower eastern side of the region, is Wellington's only wine district. Martinborough, as well as being a town, is also the oldest and best known wine area within the Wairarapa region. Pinot Noir is the region's most planted and certainly most acclaimed grape variety. The Gladstone whites of the region also are luscious and the “Auld Alliance” is a Bordeaux blend indigenous to this region that is huge but light and creamy.

This region is very distinct and these wines show the evidence of this new appellation recorded in 2001. Munari started making wine in 1992 and his first vintages won prizes all over Australia. “We discovered this wine in 1998 and it was one of the first we imported to Florida. This Schoolhouse Red is a blend that is so distinctive you must taste it to understand its complexity. The cabernet and shiraz are equally distinctive” Don Lampasone.
