Export Update
Several factors are playing into a slowdown in New Zealand wine exports, including bumper sales in 2020, a light vintage in 2021, and pipeline refilling in 2022.
I would like to introduce our newest advocacy team member, Anna Cameron.
Anna joined New Zealand Winegrowers (NZW) in September 2021 as Senior Legal Counsel. Anna previously worked in private practice, specialising in environmental and resource management law. She has extensive experience advising both private and public sector clients on all aspects of the resource management system including district and regional plan changes and consenting processes. She also has experience working for central government and also at a local government level overseas. We're thrilled to have her on the team. If you have any questions for Anna, you can contact her at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
In the past ear, we have also welcomed back Larissa Trownson, who has worked with our team previously. Larissa is now a permanent part of the team as Legal Counsel, and is particularly well versed when it comes to queries relating to labelling and winemaking practices.

Where can I find more information?
Please contact the advocacy team if you want to know about NZW's work in any of these areas, or to discuss any regulations affecting the sale of your wine internationally.
