Winemaker Rob Cameron spoke to an appreciative crowd of the young (2006) company and how Tim and he met in London and decided to bring their skills together with Invivo, to huge success, as they have been awarded a finalist in the NZ Wine Producer of the Year Trophy IWSC, 3 gold medals and Cuisine's current ranking no.2 Sauvignon Blanc in NZ with 5 stars.
