Emma Jenkins' MW Musings: Do we need wine?
OPINION: At the recent Organic and Biodynamic Winegrowing Conference, the Porto Protocol’s Marta Mendonça said, “Grapes are not the thirstiest of crops, but they are a luxury crop”.
Central Otago will host the Organic & Biodynamic Winegrowing Conferenced from 1-3 June 2027, drawing passionate researchers, practitioners and experts from Aotearoa and beyond.
"This feels like a natural and exciting evolution," says conference chair Anika Willner.
"Central Otago is home to the highest concentration of organic vineyards in New Zealand, so bringing the conversation here allows us to both honour the region and continue pushing the dialogue around organic and regenerative winegrowing forward."
