Rosé Technical Workshop, Marlborough

10 November 2020

The New Zealand Society for Viticulture & Oenology is delighted to announce the resumption of our 2020 technical workshop program. We have dedicated this year’s event to one of the fastest growing global wine styles – Rosé.  

Our ‘Smell the Rosés’ workshop will run one full day, divided into four sessions. Presentations will be provided by industry practitioners, researchers and leaders in viticulture, winemaking and marketing from both New Zealand and overseas. As usual, we will integrate themed tastings within the program so delegates can assess the content of presentations in the glass as well as interact with speakers and peers in a collaborative environment. (Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea included.)
