October 2022

The October 2022 issue of Winepress looks at:

Workforce Planning
With vintage 2023 looming, we look at the Muka Tangata Workforce Development Council, Wine Marlborough’s industry workforce plan, and the new visa requirements following an immigration reset.

Young Winemaker
Alun Kilby has long had an appetite for trying new things. “I have always wanted to be a little bit outside of the box and not run by the recipe,” says the 2022 Tonnellerie de Mercurey Marlborough Young Winemaker of the Year.

Future Vineyard
A controlled-environment research vineyard is to be developed alongside The New Zealand Wine Centre -Te Pokapū Wāina o Aotearoa – to help future-proof New Zealand’s wine industry.
