Oraterra
Oraterra translates to golden earth, reflecting the value of great vineyard sites in Martinborough, including that from which winemaker Wilco Lam is now making wines.
Richard was a pioneering force in establishing Martinborough as a key player in the New Zealand wine scene, and was instrumental in initiatives such as Toast Martinborough and the formation of The Family of Twelve, a collective of twelve artisanal wineries dedicated to promoting New Zealand wine in international markets.
Nick, who is also a 2024 New Zealand Winegrowers Fellow, was recognised for his pivotal role in advancing vine health and sustainability.
