Rockburn Team — Q&A with Tim Severne

Growing up in Ponsonby, Auckland it's fair to say that our GM, Tim was raised on Prego Pizza and Crispy Duck from Empress Garden. Living in one of the city's most bustling hospitality suburbs certainly proved to be a good grounding for a future in selling wine to Sommeliers.

The exceptional 2019 vintage sparks a double Barrels release this September; Eight Barrels Pinot Noir 2019 from Gibbston and Eleven Barrels Pinot Noir 2019 from our Parkburn site in Lowburn.

Welcome Tim!

We're excited to confirm the appointment of Tim Severne as our new General Manager.
