The next chapter of New Zealand wine is beginning to unfold and we are beginning to see more opportunities for consumers around the world to learn and sample the wines from the smaller boutique producers.
One example is “The Specialist Winegrowers of New Zealand Ltd. They are an independent marketing alliance representing rare and exceptional wines from a small group of artisan producers. The alliance offers a single point of contact for sourcing some of New Zealand’s finest limited release boutique wine.”
Members of this group include:
- Mike Spratt / Destiny Bay
- Sarah Inkersell / Fairbourne Estate
- Chris Canning / The Hay Paddock
- Daniel Le Brun / No 1 Family Estate
- Nick Nobilo / Vinoptima
- Steve Farquharson / Wooing Tree
