The July 2022 issue of Winepress looks at:

Vintage Survey
Marlborough’s 2022 grape harvest has weighed in at 414,649 tonnes, up 54% on last year’s light yields, allowing the wine industry to rebuild “rock bottom” wine stocks.

Mānawatia a Matariki
As Aotearoa marked its first national Matariki holiday, many in Marlborough’s wine industry reflected on the growing influence of te ao Māori on how we live and work.

Inland Ports
Plans for two inland ports at Riverlands are positive for Marlborough’s wine industry, says Wine Marlborough general manager Marcus Pickens. “To me it indicates real confidence in our sector.”
