All the participating winemakers – both young and old - have won awards and plaudits for their carefully crafted Rieslings. All enjoy a party. Between them they represent the six principal Riesling-growing areas in New Zealand, each quite different in their allure, and all of them offering fantastic adventures for the visitor, whether they are into their wine…or not!
