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.
Wairarapa Wine Region's Pinot Pioneers celebration dinner in early August paid homage to Nick Hoskins of Vine Managers and the late Richard Riddiford of Palliser Estate.
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.
