Bragato Research Institute was established as a Regional Research Institute with funding from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.

Owned by New Zealand Winegrowers, our aim is to provide leading-edge science, research and innovation to benefit New Zealand’s wine industry, and its key stakeholders.

Regionally based in Marlborough, we have a national focus, and global reach, providing research and innovation for commercial grape and wine production. Some of this work will be undertaken by our own science team and other work will be contracted, depending on the capability and expertise required
