7 CELLARS BRANDY

In the beginning, a group of pioneering New Zealand winemakers had a vision to produce one of the world's finest brandies. This was not a small vision for an industry that was very much still in its infancy. 7 Cellars Brandy was born from this vision. What follows is a story about commitment, passion and foresight from a dedicated few pioneers... An original group of 12 winemakers reduced to a core of 7 that had the aspiration, patience and perseverance to follow the vision and embark on this journey of faith. These men became known as "The Magnificent Seven". They had successfully lobbied the government of the time to grant them a licence to conduct experiments to see whether the industry could successfully produce quality brandy from locally grown grapes.
