Join Nick Hoskins (Riversun Nursery) and Braden Crosby (BRI), at a presentation and tasting of wines and phenological data from the Otago Polytechnic and Riversun Nursery clonal trial based in Bannockburn, Central Otago. The vineyard, planted in 13 clones of Pinot Noir in a replicated design, is unique and allows objective assessment of clonal performance in New Zealand    

This will be followed by a tasting and research presentation by Dr. Stewart Field (NMIT) on shifting berry size in wineries and its effect on wine quality in Pinot Noir.  Developed from the Pinot noir programme, Stewart will present wines based on berry size selection along with wine chemistry data. 

Attendees: Please bring seven wine glasses
