OUR WINEMAKER
INTRODUCING ANT MACKENZIE
Ant has been a winemaker for almost 30 years, managing to balance the requirements of both boutique and large wineries as chief winemaker and/ or winemaking consultant.
At various times Ant has lived in Marlborough and Hawke’s Bay, commuting between both whilst also covering most of the winemaking regions of New Zealand.
GREAT WINES ARE MADE IN THE VINEYARD
Within the industry Ant has been involved in wine show judging up to the Chief Judge level and sat on various industry groups. Wine communication and education, locally and internationally, has also been a career highlight.
Outside of the industry Ant bakes sourdough bread to a commercial level and restores classic racing bikes to both ride and sell.
