Lee Dobson - Winery Manager
After 13 years working in the winery learning from Daniel, Lee knows pretty much everything there is to know about making Méthode Traditionelle wine. Lee's role is hands-on, all day every day, and his days are diverse and always busy. When he's not in the winery, you'll have to travel far off the beaten track to find him because he'll be spearfishing in the Marlborough Sounds in the summer and snowboarding in the mountains when the weather turns colder.
Lee was born in South Africa and after spells living in England and Southern Ireland he arrived in New Zealand and the rest, as they say, is history.
