During the gold rush of 1865-1900 thousands of Chinese people came to New Zealand. All over the country, but especially in Otago, evidence of their presence remains.
The wines of the Prospectors' Wine Company, founded by modern-day passionate China Girl Jing Song, pay homage to these courageous Chinese prospectors.
The journey of exploration and innovation continues in Jing's desire and passion to find, and then combine, all the elements involved in the winemaking and creative processes to offer a sense of place and a nod to her roots, and to build a truly meaningful portfolio.
Moved by passion, a desire to innovate, and an unquenching love of wine, Jing partners with her favourite winemakers and searches for the best land to give birth to her vision and produce very special New Zealand wines.
