“We are really delighted to be working with Kemp Wine Merchants (Great Little Vineyards),” said Mahana Estates’ winegrower Michael Glover. “Dan and his team really understand what we are trying to achieve at Mahana and we believe they will represent us very well in the New Zealand market. It seems to me that Dan’s focus is the people at the heart of wine drinking and wine making and that really resonates with me.”

Daniel Kemp, Managing Director of Kemp Wine Merchants (Great Little Vineyards) said that Mahana Estates is a very welcome addition to his stable of wine producers.

“Mahana Estates is producing wine with great integrity and Michael’s approach to winemaking brings a real excitement to the New Zealand wine scene. Our core focus and philosophies as a company are shaped and moulded by the brilliant characters behind our great little vineyards, and, the incredible wines they produce – Michael and Mahana Estates fit very well with that approach.”

Mahana Estates and Kemp Wine Merchants (Great Little Vineyards) are celebrating the new distribution agreement with a launch party at Great Little Vineyards in Remuera, Auckland on 2 December featuring a performance by renowned musician Paul Ubana Jones.
