Marlborough’s Te Pā Family Vineyards was a finalist in the Best Medium Business category and the Māori Excellence in Export category at the New Zealand International Business Awards, with Invivo in the running for the Excellence in Brand Storytelling category.
Winners were to be announced on November 27, after this edition went to print.
Te Pā founder and owner Haysley MacDonald says the hard work of his team is paying off, “with quality wines, a great story and authentic, unique heritage, and strong relationships with our amazing customers”.
The company, which makes 15 years in 2026, currently exports to over 25 export markets and has a strong domestic presence in Aotearoa.
Invivo has had a long-standing partnership with Graham Norton, and the talk show host visited Marlborough earlier this year.
Chief Marketing Officer Rachael Everitt says being named a finalist in the business awards reflects 12 years of authentic storytelling.
“To see that journey come full circle with Graham’s visit to Marlborough this year was something really special, and we’re truly honoured to be recognised.”
