Episode 56 - MW Michael Brajkovich

The Brajkovich family emigrated to New Zealand from Croatia in the 1930s, bringing with them some experience growing grapes for wine production. After purchasing property just outside of Auckland in the 1940s, the family tended the vineyard for decades until officially launching the Kumeu River brand in 1986. The winemaker is the eldest son Michael, who has not only taken their wines to a world-class level, but also became New Zealand's first Master of Wine in 1989! Michael was my guest on this episode of The Vincast, sharing his family's and his own stories.
