Beer makes wine in volcanic hills

Sean Beer has a unique name for a winemaker and operates in a unique location, Rotorua in New Zealand. The Volcanic Hills Winery run by Beer is the only winery in the Rotorua district, a Mecca for tourism in the country. “We’re still a pretty small winery but we source grapes from the oldest vines in New Zealand and crush around 60 tonnes,” said Beer. “I’ve worked in wineries where the crush was 300 thousand tonnes, so we do things differently,” Beer said.
