TUKU, the world's first collective of Māori wine producers, celebrated its five-year anniversary in July.
Since launching in 2018, TUKU has helped members create a platform to tell stories globally about Māori wine producers.
During that time, the collective has provided insight to government strategy and free trade agreements - and it is now reaching out to indigenous winemakers in other countries, starting with Canada, to create an informal network of support.
