Lincoln University

The University of Lincoln, near Christchurch in the Canterbury region of South Island, New Zealand, was formed in 1990 through a split from the University of Canterbury. However, its origins date back to 1878, when an agricultural school was established in Lincoln. The main objectives of the Centre for Viticulture and Oenology are to improve quality through a better understanding of the relationships between the environment, viticulture and winemaking, and to provide appropriate training in vineyard management, winemaking and marketing. The scientific focus is on the two varieties Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc, taking into account the special climatic conditions in New Zealand. The social and cultural aspects of wine production and consumption are also to be researched. Various courses of study are offered in viticulture and winemaking. The highest level is a four-year Bachelor of Viticulture and Enology Honours degree. See also under viticulture institutions.
