  • Great Industry Insights

    Peeling back the curtain on industry stories and personality’s behind both lesser and well know wine companies in NZ is a great way to learn about wine, the growth of the industry in New Zealand and get the inside run on where it’s going next. An easy listen that enriches my wine knowledge.

  • NZ Wine Review

    I'm no wine expert but for the last 3-4 years I've been thoroughly enjoying wines (especially reds) and have had numerous attempts of further developing my knowledge online but struggled to find anything relevant to my current understanding.

    This podcast is fantastic for anyone from a beginner Wine taster to what seems and expert/advanced level with the quality guests involved.

Q: What do you focus on in winemaking at Monte Christo?

Q: So what was your role to make Christie's?
