ADDITIONAL NOTES/DEFINITIONS:
• SWNZ Membership is based on an individual vineyard. Two vineyards separated from each other but with a common owner, or continuous (i.e., share a common boundary) but with different owners, will be regarded as separate vineyards for the purposes of membership to SWNZ, and will each incur separate membership fees.
• A LEASE is defined as an exclusive right to possession of the land and the buildings on it for a specific period of time according to the terms of the lease. These terms should be documented in a lease agreement.
• For those using grapes for their own wine, a WINERY means a person whose business is or includes producing and selling grape wine or grape wine products, or selling grape wine or grape wine products that have been produced on that person’s behalf [Wine (Grape Wine Levy) Order, 2016]
Please contact Hannah Stanton-Kerr at [email protected] for any NZW Membership queries (including grape/wine levies). For SWNZ-related queries, please contact the SWNZ Membership Support team at [email protected].
