icon to see all. * Top Chef - Pigs and Pinot - Season 6, Episode 8 10/14/2009 Part 3
Wairau River Wines, our carboNZero certified client featured on the internationally popular American show Top Chef. Wairau River Pinot Noir featured on this international high rating programme as 1 of 9 Pinot Noir from around the world (the only wine from NZ!), which the chefs used to match with a pork dish. The wines and dishes were sampled at the annual charity ‘Pig and Pinot’ event organised each year by last week’s guest judge – a highly respected Master Chef, Charlie Palmer.
For a New Zealand wine to be featured alongside the world’s best is a fabulous testimony for Kiwi made product, and we were extraordinary proud to see it was one of our client!
