Winemaker: Tim Heath After struggling to decide between a career in a chemistry lab or a kitchen, a rush of blood to the head saw Tim move into the wine industry...”because it looked like too much fun to be considered a ‘real’ job”. Joining Cloudy Bay in 2005, Tim brought drive and diverse experience to the winery, having spent several years winemaking in South Australia’s Clare and Barossa Valleys as well as the Northern Rhône in France. As a Senior Winemaker, Tim leads a dynamic team responsible for cultivating and refining the estate's style |

Viticulturalist: Jim White Like so many in the wine industry, Jim’s career was spurred on by an encounter with the ‘perfect’ bottle of wine. After completing a degree in Agriculture and Viticulture at Melbourne University, Jim worked his way across Australia before realising his destiny lay across the Tasman. Jim is passionate about venturing amongst the elements and nurturing the vineyards through the endlessly fascinating changes of the seasons. What he loves most, is the fact that no two seasons, or vintages, are ever the same and that each year New Zealand’s unique and special climate presents a new set of challenges. The rewards are abundant with the ability to taste the fruits of his labour many times over, in the vineyard, in the winery, and finally at home at the table with family and friends. |

Director: Ian Morden As the Estate Director, Ian is responsible for the general management of Cloudy Bay and plays a key role in driving its strategic direction and global expansion, while continuing to deliver the undisputed high quality wines with which Cloudy Bay has become synonymous with. Ian's journey to Cloudy Bay has been an interesting one. He spent the early part of his career working as a commercial lawyer for various international law firms, before moving into the wine industry. Ian used to spend a great deal of time working in New Zealand, including assignments in the Marlborough region. And so, having had a taste of Marlborough over the years, he found the unique opportunity to combine commerce with passionate creativity at Cloudy Bay irresistible. |
