Milestone vintage at Brokenwood winery

As the 2012 winegrape harvest gathers momentum this week, a special milestone is being reached at Brokenwood winery – Iain Riggs’s 30th Hunter vintage. It is special because Iain Leslie Riggs, just ‘‘Riggsie’’ to his legion of wine industry friends, has had an inspirational impact on Brokenwood and the Hunter, national and international wine scene. He is an ideas man with the extraordinary ability to implement his ideas, reports the Newcastle Herald.
