Mark is very involved in the production side of things, but the branding and labelling and presentation of the wines, is massively important to them. It can\u2019t just be about what\u2019s in the bottle. That should be good, but you do have to package these things \u2013 it has to be something they are drawn to, and remember.

They\u2019ve got the cycle trail, the Gibbston Back Road, so it\u2019s easy to get around. So there is less general foot traffic on Felton Road these days than there used to be. We get less people, but it tends to be the committed wine drinker. It\u2019s quite different out here to Queenstown. You\u2019re not going to come to New Zealand for Cromwell, but a lot of the big wine names that you know are here in the Cromwell area. Gibbston is a lovely day out and some of the wines are lovely \u2013 I\u2019m a massive Chard Farm fan as I worked there for three years.
