The Profile: Chris Scott
Chris Scott was driven by boredom when he picked up his dad’s copy of the Cuisine New Zealand Wine Annual in the 1990s.
Church Road Chief Winemaker Chris Scott was named New Zealand Winemaker of the Year at the Winestate Wine of the Year Awards, taking the title for the fifth time.
"This award is as much for the team here at Church Road as it is for me," he says.
“We have such a huge amount of skill, experience and dedication amongst the Church Road family and an incredible fruit resource from some of the very best vineyards in Hawke’s Bay. It is a bit of a dream really, to do what we do and we’re lucky to be able to do it in such a beautiful part of the world.”
