Construction of the New Zealand Wine Centre is weeks away from starting. The development of the centre is a pivotal point in the 36-year history of the MRC

We are delighted to bring you our 2019/2020 Annual Report.

This year marks 36 years of growth since our beginnings in 1984.

As sponsors of the Marlborough Wine Show we had the chance to take a look behind the scenes during the first of the two judging days.

We are thrilled for the 2021 Cawthron Marlborough Environment Awards to have received 28 entries across seven categories. Take a look at the entrants on the CMEA website.

The first local insights report from the interim Marlborough Skills Leadership Group (iRSLG) is now available online.

Preparations for the first phase of the NZ Wine Centre - Te Pokapū Wāina o Aotearoa are under way.

NMIT’s D-block has been removed and the site has been cleared for the new development.

We are seeking local businesses, community groups, and individuals doing exceptional things to look after our environment to enter the awards.

The Bragato Research Institute is taking Grape Days online this year to host a series of four webinars over four weeks. Hear from New Zealand growers and their trials, as well as researchers from Bragato Research Institute, Linnaeus, South Australian Research and Development Institute, Plant & Food Research and more. Registration is free.

Tenders will be called next month for the first phase of the New Zealand Wine Centre just weeks after Government funding for the project was confirmed.

Funding of $3.79m from the Provincial Growth Fund cements Marlborough’s place as the epicentre of New Zealand wine industry research and innovation.

Marlborough Research Centre Chief Executive Gerald Hope says the funding is the culmination of more than a third of a century’s work.
