Bragato Research Institute: New Traditions 

Bragato Research Institute drives world-leading innovation for the New Zealand wine industry-from blue sky research to the practical application of science in our vineyards, wineries and supply chain. We are a wholly owned subsidiary of New Zealand Winegrowers, the national industry body for growers and wineries.
Our state-of-the-art Research Winery opened in February 2020 at the Marlborough Research Centre in Blenheim. From here, we partner with industry and other research organisations to set the national research agenda, trial world-first technologies, conduct commercial trials, and connect educators and students to science and industry.
Our Grapevine Improvement Laboratory is based at Lincoln University in Canterbury. The Grapevine Improvement team runs our Sauvignon Blanc 2.0 programme and several other grapevine projects and services.
