Want to recognise your favourite local business?

Prospa

We all love a cheeky grin and a wave from our local grocer, or a toot from the delivery driver, or a coffee order that’s ready before we arrive. And especially over the last year, it’s been the small businesses in our communities that have almost made things seem ‘normal’.

For a long time, New Zealand wine exports have been dominated by Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir with small quantities of Chardonnay and Bordeaux blends plus more.
