It has certainly been a harvest to remember!

We were thankful the wine industry was classed as an essential business and therefore able to continue with our 2020 harvest, albeit under very strict protocol. We our proud of the vintage team who remained focused on the importance of a successful harvest throughout and we are very pleased to have wines safely tucked away for winter.

We convinced one of our all-time favourite peeps - Davey who heads up one of our all-time favourite Wellington restaurants Ortega Fish Shack, to share some insights into how he is maximising his lockdown time whilst keeping his hand in the game – we love you Davey!

To say that the developments over the past weeks and recent few days including todays latest announcement has been staggering is an understatement. Without exception, every person in New Zealand is affected by what is happening and the goalposts are changing hourly. An unsettling and disturbing time.
