I really enjoy the fusion of different clients and exploring all the different winemaking approaches and techniques that comes with that

Nick Barsanti
Client Winemaker
Nick joined the New Zealand Wineries Limited team in 2013 as an Assistant Winemaker and was promoted this year into a Client Winemaker
Nick’s first job was at Cloudy Bay as a cellar hand back in 2011.
Originally from England he moved to NZ in 2006 and after some travelling around he settled in Blenheim with his family.
Nick enjoys working in the client winemaking environment, as you get to see all the different approaches used just for one variety of grape.
Nick’s most memorable wine experience is drinking 100 year old Champagne with his friends back in England.
