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.

To be held on 10 November at the Marlborough Vintners Hotel, our ‘Smell the Rosés’ workshop will run a full day. Divided into four sessions, it will provide presentations from industry practitioners, researchers and leaders in viticulture, winemaking and marketing from 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.

A couple highlights include:

An overview of the global rosé market from Negotiants Managing Director, Clive Weston.

Livestreams from the south of France: Glenn Creasy re. the origins of rosé and how viticulture affects the myriad of styles popular in the European market. Kirsten Creasy re. Languedoc trends and critical aspects involved in the production of their region’s rosés.

Other topics to be covered:

The flavour chemistry, aromas & sensory profiles

Winemaker influence

Fermentation options

Millennials and rosé

Benchmarking

This is going to be a fantastic day, full of learning, networking & tasting run by the team at the NZSVO. What better way to usher in spring than spending a day thinking pink. So throw off the Covid Blues, sharpen your palate & bring your “A” game to the NZSVO Rosé Technical Workshop.

Once finalised, the full workshop programme will be available at https://www.nzsvo.org.nz.
