Matawhero Wines: Celebrating 50 years of Gisborne winemaking innovation
Pioneering Gisborne winery Matawhero Wines is marking half a century of influence in New Zealand's modern wine story.
Gisborne is to host Past, Present and Beyond... the Tale of New Zealand Chardonnay and Sparkling from February 4 to 5, following the inaugural International Sauvignon Blanc Celebration in Marlborough (February 1 -3).
Gisborne is the perfect venue for such a symposium, says New Zealand Winegrowers’ global marketing director, Chris Yorke.
“The region’s reputation for kiwi hospitality, a rich culture, and of course as a world-class wine producing region, makes Gisborne a great choice for hosting the event”.
The New Zealand Winegrowers event is dedicated to comprehensive wine tastings with a focus on exploring the rich quality, diversity and future developments of New Zealand sparkling wine and Chardonnay. Winemakers Clive Jones (Nautilus Estate) and Michael Brajkovich MW (Kumeu River Wines) and a panel of experts will present and discuss sparkling wine and Chardonnay across various themes and styles.
This event is limited to 100 invited delegates.
