This month we welcome back Tony Cloke, who last presented to our Society five years ago. Based in the UK, Tony is European Sales Manager for Spy Valley Wines. He started out as Brand Manager several years ago when he worked for Bibendum Wine, their UK market partner.
Spy Valley Wines is one of the most highly regarded wineries in the Marlborough region of New Zealand. Spy Valley can trace its history back to the 1990s when Bryan and Jan Johnson established their 320 acre vineyard on land considered too hard, too dry and too unfertile for wine. But their passion won through and the family run estate flourished. Today, they export seven varietals to 35 countries across the world.
A key advantage of having an evening dedicated to one wine estate is that we will be able to taste most of the varietals produced on the estate.
