Great Wine Capitals Outbound Knowledge Exchange Hui – 3 September 2024

Join us for an insightful evening as Ryan Fraser (Paritua Vineyards), Sara Macdonald (Sileni Estates), and Gavin Dalton (Brookfields Estate) share their learnings from their recent visit to the Great Wine Capital of Adelaide, South Australia. Their focus on sustainability in vineyard management and wine production offers valuable insights for the Hawke’s Bay wine industry.

 Topics include:

• Ryan Fraser: Soil and vine health practices to enhance wine quality and meet sustainability goals.
• Sara Macdonald: Futureproofing against climate change with alternative grape varieties and regenerative viticulture, plus insights from Adelaide’s NOLO (no and low alcohol) research and innovative marketing strategies.
• Gavin Dalton: Water-saving initiatives to reduce water use per litre of wine produced.

We hope you can join us to learn from their experiences and stay for a glass of wine and a chat afterward.

 Please RSVP by 5pm, Wednesday 28th August, to Fiona: fiona@hawkesbaywine.co.nz
