More about Malcolm:
From rural Waimate to the heart of Central Otago winemaking, Malcolm’s journey has been anything but ordinary. With a background in microbiology, he honed his craft at Felton Road before taking the helm at Rockburn in 2005. Over nearly two decades, Malcolm has shaped Rockburn’s elegant, expressive style and helped establish it as one of New Zealand’s most awarded Pinot Noir producers.
