Marlborough & Waiheke island
Pete Turner
SOHO’s Marlborough & Waiheke Winemaker, Pete Turner, believes wines must wear their hearts and roots on their sleeves. “In the winery, we try to awaken a wine’s true personality but also add character and interest.”
Slightly obsessive compulsive (in a strangely relaxed way), Pete’s approach to life and wine has always been about the experience and the now! Running, hitting the Waiheke waves with his daughters, and enjoying good food and wine with mates are all elements of a perfect day – everyday!
Central Otago
Matt Connell
Flavoursome, complex and balanced could describe Matt Connell’s personality, much like his wines. With a mantelpiece dripping in gold bling, when it comes to Pinot Noir, Matt has the Midas Touch.
His Zen connection to the Central Otago winelands allows him to seek out and express the best qualities from every site and every vintage. Make no mistake, behind the laid-back, nice image Matt has grand expectations. Expect only the finest.
