Laura away
Our Lab Manager Laura Mitchell is away for 8 weeks on a much deserved Holiday.
Catalogue for 2023-2024
With Harvest orders needing to be in at the end of October it is an ideal time to reassess what we are offering for the 2024 season. To look at offerings from suppliers and learn if there is anything new on offer. Please look out for the updated catalogue due out in the next week or two.
Harvest 2024 Orders due 14th October
Seems like this time of year comes around quickly. For large orders we need to have these in by the end 29 th September so suppliers can hit manufacturing deadlines and freight timings to get to NZ in good time for harvest. Boats will be packed and leaving port in November.
Closed October 27th.
We are having an on-site visit from CHR Hansen audit team going over our systems and documents.

YAY !! My favourite time of year! Love the email from Lynnette, it signals the start of the new season. Looking forward while at the same time looking back, to think about problem children for the year, and think about feedback from peers. Hoping to dig out a few gems of information to help your Pinot Noir improve this event is a must.
