Al is excited about trying something a bit new to him, with a “Field Blend”, a mix of the best of what chardonnay, pinot gris, sauvignon blanc and gewürztraminer grapes have to offer. Lake Hawea Station is NZ’s first carbon zero farm, fuelled by Geoff Ross who originally set out in business with 42 Below vodka. Geoff shares the ins and outs of starting out, what it takes, and why being a kiwi can be an advantage on the global stage. Ian Burrows is from the Hauraki Gulf Conservation Trust, a charity partner with Tipping Point. The vision of the trust is to protect, restore and enhance the environment surrounding the Hauraki Gulf. Al gets to the bottom of how they live up to their vision and why now is the time for action before two of our key species of fish in the gulf (snapper and tarakihi) become extinct. Ian offers three simple steps that we can all take on board in our day-to-day lives to turn things around. Time to pop the bubbles and decide on the sparkling wine blend for Tipping Point. Al can tell his favourite based on the “pop” alone!
