Philip Gregan Named 2026 NZ Winegrowers Fellow
For the past 35 years, Philip Gregan has helped select New Zealand Winegrowers Fellows, working with the board to choose a cohort of extraordinary industry champions.
This strong demand in key markets bodes well for the wine industry, whose 2015 grape harvest is now underway.
Prospects for a high quality vintage are looking very positive due to the superb summer weather says Philip Gregan, CEO of New Zealand Winegrowers.
"The warm dry summer of 2015 has been absolutely perfect for growing and ripening grapes. As we move into autumn the prospect is for an outstanding, albeit smaller, vintage in all our grape-growing regions".
Although the expectation is that the 2015 vintage will be significantly smaller than last year, Gregan says the sales in the year ahead will be supported by retained stocks from vintage 2014.
