Chef and Kiwi entrepreneur, Al Brown, has announced the launch of his first-ever wine range, Tipping Point, created alongside Constellation Brands to do good and taste great with each varietal supporting a different not-for-profit organisation in New Zealand.
“From day one this project has been about creating a wine that celebrates all of the things that are close to my heart – our regions, our land and bringing people we love together for a bite of something delicious to eat was down with a decent drop” – Al Brown.
Tipping Point wines support six organisations that are working hard to create a better future for New Zealand: The Bumble Bee Charitable Trust, Sea Cleaners, Kea Conservation Trust, The Hauraki Gulf Conservation Trust, Wilding Free Mackenzie and Te Tira Whakamātaki. Each cause is guaranteed to receive an upfront $10,000 donation to get the ball rolling.
This makes purchasing any of the six varietals – a Chardonnay, Rosé and Syrah from the Hawke’s Bay, a Field Blend and Methode Traditionnelle from Marlborough, plus a Pinot Noir from Central Otago – a perfect way to give back while enjoying a delicious tipple.
“Most of us want to look after our environment and give back where we can so it’s pretty cool to know that every bottle of Tipping Point you purchase is going towards a good cause,” says Brown.
Tipping Point wines are available from leading bottle shops and supermarkets across New Zealand, with an RRP of $24.99 for the Chardonnay, Rose, Field Blend and Bubbly and $34.99 for the Pinot Noir and Syrah.
