With the number of wine shows seeking entries, both in New Zealand and internationally, the choice and what they offer, has become bewildering.

Delegat’s new winery northwest of Hastings is designed to establish the company’s presence and public face in Hawke’s Bay and to be a showcase for the processes involved in growing and making wine.  

The Babich name goes back to 1916 when a young Josip  released his first wine. The grapes were his own, grown in the far north (Kaikino) personally trod and made, and then sold in a wine shop he opened. 

Hats off to Nelson Winegrowers who in just under a year have gone from deciding to take a closer look at their branding, to being almost ready to launch a new name and look.
