New Zealand Winegrowers is hosting over ninety international wine experts from around twenty countries at several events across the country including the Aromatics Symposium in Nelson, Pinot Noir NZ 2017 in Wellington, and Classic Reds in Hawke’s Bay.

“Our guests are here to discover what makes New Zealand such a unique place to grow grapes and explore the evolution in our wine styles,” said Philip Gregan, CEO of New Zealand Winegrowers. 

“New Zealand may produce less than 1 per cent of the world’s wine but we are attracting serious global attention. The events come at a time when New Zealand wine exports are riding high, exceeding a record $1.6 billion. We are confident the upcoming events will continue to fuel the interest in our world-class Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Syrah and much more. New Zealand is ready to shine.”

New Zealand wine is exported to more than ninety countries, and is the country’s sixth largest export.
