There were a number of subjects that came up when NZW CEO Philip Gregan and I discussed this year's NZ Winegrower Personality of the Year.

In May this year, growers and wineries expressed their strong support for NZ Winegrowers Board proposal to reform the structure and governance of your industry bodies.

My  family lives in the middle of our vineyard, so the vineyard environment is also our environment, it is also our winery environment, our restaurant and cellar door environment.

In May this year you will be asked to decide whether the proposed changes to New Zealand Winegrowers governance structure gets the green light.

Over the next few months, NZ Winegrower is profiling the people you elected to the Board of NZW. First up, the chair Steve Green.

Hard to believe it isn’t it, but Vintage 2015 is only a matter of four or so months away. We are all only just starting to sell the very early wines from the current vintage and the next one is just around the corner!

The last 12 months have been a real turning point for the industry. The end result is a greater level of  optimism than at Bragato a year ago.
