Kevin Joyce, founder of Marlborough Wine Limited (MWL), shares his insights on New Zealand’s thriving wine industry, its challenges, and the global demand for its world-class Sauvignon Blanc. As the country's fifth-largest export sector, wine contributes billions to the economy and supports thousands of jobs, but rising costs, supply fluctuations, and potential trade tariffs pose hurdles. Kevin discusses the impact of climate, regulations, and the controversial Gene Technology Bill on viticulture, while also showcasing MWL’s exceptional wines—including a crisp albariño, a delicate rosé, and a refined Central Otago pinot noir. With a deep passion for the industry and a commitment to natural, high-quality winemaking, Kevin is optimistic about the future, despite the headwinds.
