Presenter: TBCOur journey has been a long one. But we believe good things are worth taking time over. That’s just one of the reasons why Wairiki wine has been over 30 years in the making.
Wairiki was founded by Brent Linn in 2008 but his passion for wine began long before that. Brent’s interest was sparked when working in banking, helping winemakers find the funding to plant their vines into the soil and establish their labels.

Presenter: TBCMisty Cove ain’t your average wine brand. It’s not just about the wine; it’s about flipping the script on winemaking. Each sip tells a tale, has a swagger of its own.
The brand’s origin story kicks off in 2008, a time when ‘The Founder’, New Zealander Andrew Bailey, ventured to The Netherlands, and while running his thriving wine import distribution company, Forty Four Degrees, he laid the groundwork for Misty Cove. Fast forward to 2012, with a solid brand foothold in Europe, his love for Marlborough prompted his return, sculpting Misty into what it is today. Now, the reins are in the hands of a tight-knit crew united by their shared determination to uphold Misty Cove’s legacy of innovation, quality and nonconformity.
