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.
It's a "mind-blowing feeling" to win the New Zealand Sommelier of the Year 2024, says Suraj GC.
When Nick Hoskins took up an apprenticeship with the Wellington Parks Department aged 17, he was simply keen on a job outdoors.
Wine scientist Dr David Heatherbell had a major influence on New Zealand's horticulture and wine industry, says two of his colleagues.
Winning a Global Decanter Platinum Award for the Mutu Reserve Chardonnay 2021 is a tribute to the enduring spirit of the region's winemaking community, says Winemaker Kel Dixon.
Marlborough’s 2024 vintage was “a return to form for Marlborough summers”, says Astrolabe General Manager Libby Levett.
