Neil Todd has been with Kahurangi Estate since April 2001, starting as assistant winemaker with Kahurangi Estate since April 2001 and then moving to our Chief Winemaker in 2004. Neil is a brewer by profession, having owned his own brewery and brewing beer for 10 years. The progression to winemaking seemed a natural choice and kick-started his new career with a Gold Medal and Trophy in the International Wine Challenge for our Kahurangi Unwooded Chardonnay 2005. Since then Neil has gone on to produce many Gold, Silver and Bronze medals for Kahurangi Estate and we are very proud to have him as our Chief Winemaker.
