Predictions for 2010

What wineries will be worth keeping an eye on this year?

Personally I believe that wineries such as  Sandihurst, Lindis River, and Churton will be ones to keep an eye on. These wineries make handcrafted wines.

Lindis River only make Pinot Noir and with that in mind you'd think given their location of Central Otago, that things would be rosie, but it is a one man band. This is hard work as you have to make, market, and sell your own wine.

Sandihurst are also a small outfit and have used social media pretty well but should be doing a lot more. Their wines, especially the Pinot Noir, are very well made but need to concentrate on their location rather than chasing the Central Otago dream.

Churton just make great Marlborough wine. Now they have employed a sales person you may see them in a few more stores and restaurants.
