Meet the Winemaker: Anne Escalle Wine Tasting

Anne was born in the Rhône Valley – in France into a family of wine & food enthusiasts. Having graduated with a Masters degree in Viticulture, Vinification and Vineyard Management from the National School of Agricultural Engineering in Bordeaux; her passion for wine led her to settle in Languedoc Roussillon for 10 year, as a viticulturist-consultant for premium wine estates. In 2007, she moved with her young family in New Zealand, where they all fell in love with the kiwi way of life.

For 12 years, she has been the viticulturist of the Ara vineyard in Marlborough. In 2019, she joined Edmond de Rothschild Heritage NZ to focus on what she considers the most important aspect of her GM role: excellence in wine and management, as well as a respect for the culture and the land. The mission started with Rimapere in Marlborough before expanding into Central Otago with the acquisition of Akarua.
