Caviste Burgundy Festival - odd ones out

Saturday was a very busy day for Caviste. Some of Burgundy's finest producers joined us at Ashe Park in Hampshire for the 2nd Caviste Burgundy Festival. Over 100 people turned out to enjoy the lovely May weather and taste some stunning wines.

But there was one table that may have surprised Burgundy lovers. It belonged to Ruud Maasdam and Dorien Vermaas of Staete Landt winery in New Zealand. This Dutch couple emigrated nearly 2 decades ago to create their dream of fine boutique wines in one of the world's most productive wine-growing areas. So, we  sat Luud and Dorien down and asked: so, why did you choose the Blenheim area?
