Gisborne to host New Zealand’s first Chardonnay and sparkling wine symposium
A feast of Gisborne’s finest cultural, historical and gastronomical attributes will be on show at New Zealand’s first Chardonnay and sparkling wine symposium early next year.
Gisborne is to host Past, Present and Beyond... the Tale of New Zealand Chardonnay and Sparkling from February 4 to 5, following the inaugural International Sauvignon Blanc Celebration in Marlborough (February 1 -3).
The New
Zealand Winegrowers event is dedicated to comprehensive wine
tastings with a focus on exploring the rich quality,
diversity and future developments of New Zealand sparkling
wine and Chardonnay. Winemakers Clive Jones (Nautilus
Estate) and Michael Brajkovich MW (Kumeu River Wines) and a
panel of experts will present and discuss New Zealand
sparkling wine and Chardonnay across various themes and
styles.
New Zealand Winegrowers’ Global Marketing
Director, Chris Yorke, said Gisborne is the perfect venue
for such a symposium. “The region’s reputation for kiwi
hospitality, a rich culture, and of course as a world-class
wine producing region, makes Gisborne a great choice for
hosting the event”.
This event is limited to 100 invited delegates.
