We find out what makes Al Brown tick and take a look back at some of his successes, failures and the risks he's taken along the way. Creating a wine brand is a venture into the unknown for Al. He catches up with Rowan from Constellation Brands to talk about what he hopes for the wine and gets a steer on where and how to get started. Branding is a passion of Al’s. He has worked with his designer Gary Stewart of Gas Project since the beginning and brings him up to speed on the Tipping Point venture. He wants the charity partner at the heart of the design and he knows what he doesn’t want…anything stuffy. Melanie Mark-Shadbolt from Te Tira Whakamātaki speaks to Al about Māori expertise in biosecurity and protecting our whenua. Te Tira Whakamātaki is the charity associated with the “Field Blend” in the Tipping Point project, one of six charities associated with the wines.
