About the Winery:
Mr Glover is Ben Glover, Marlborough born and bred. He was famous for making impressive wines for major NZ wineries for many years but really missed making small batches of artisan wine from his family vines. Thanks to angel fundings this wish of going back to his roots became reality.
With this second project, Ben is now on a mission to get his hands on a number of unique parcels of fruit from the most expressive vineyard sites in New Zealand. Then, placing his stamp on them with his signature ‘hands off’ deftness to provide wines with a powerful ‘sense of place’. Enjoy!
