Australia's Winemaker of the Year to Speak at NZ Chardonnay Symposium
One of Australia's most decorated winemakers will speak at the Aotearoa New Zealand Chardonnay Symposium in Hawke's Bay this September.
The 2023 Balvonie Prosecco has been a three-year project for owners Ben and Helen McLauchlan, who have released Marlborough's first prosecco from Glera grapes, planted in the Rapaura sub-region.
Prosecco is one of the fastest growing wine styles in the world and in many markets this sparkling variety is challenging Champagne. In the next few years, thanks to one woman, New Zealand could be producing its own unique Prosecco.
