The Board of NZWinegrowers has recently agreed a 10 year strategy around major events and inbound visitors to New Zealand. The strategy is a direct follow up to a review of the very successful Pinot Noir 2013 held in Wellington a little more than a year ago.

While vintage is close to over in some of the northern regions, it is just hitting its straps further south. And so far, so good.

What’s In A Name?

In 2012, Hawke’s Bay winegrowers received some worrying news: their good name, built from decades of toil and talent, was being ripped off. Wine was being sold in China as hailing from the Bay, though it had never been anywhere near New Zealand vineyards. And local growers could just imagine…
