Stu Marfell – Chief Winemaker in Marlborough
Stu Marfell is our Chief Winemaker in Marlborough.
Born and raised in the Awatere, as a child our Winemaker Stu witnessed an exciting transformation from quiet pastoral farming to grape growing as Vavasour forged a new frontier in winemaking. As a nine-year-old he was at the winery for that first revelatory vintage of 1989 – and caught the winemaking bug.
