Pinot Pioneers
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.
Matt was the 2013 national winner and is now Viticulturist for Rapaura Springs and Summerhouse Wines.
"This competition gave me a great platform to grow my own career and I'm keen to help more young viticulturists flourish in an industry I'm passionate about," he says. "It's great to have a fantastic committee to work with: Nick Paulin, Annabel Bulk, Mike Saunders, Paul Robinson and Adam Yukich."
