New Zealand starts bottling!

Monday the 22nd March 2010 was a very exciting day for the Portavin team as it marked the first bottles to run down Portavin New Zealand's Auckland bottling line.

The first bottling was for the well known and highly represpected New Zealand wine brand "The Ned". The Ned's 09 Sauvignon Blanc destined for the UK market was bottled, labelled and packaged in the new premises in Penrose.

Mike Davies Portavin chairman said, "we are extremely happy with the performance and efficiency of our machinery and our new kiwi crew did an outstanding job to make the first bottling run extremely smoothly.

We are equally pleased that the first wine we bottled is such a well recognised and respected New Zealand brand.

The hard work of our Kiwi team to establish and prepare our site in Southpark Place, Penrose, was rewarded with a hassle free start-up of the line and associated technical support services.

With some temporary assistance from experienced members of the Portavin team in Western Australia and Victoria the first run is going very smoothly.

Thanks to all involved!

Over the next few months we look forward to welcoming our potential clientele to look over this exciting development of the Portavin Australasian business group.”
