Sustainable Production
Dr Damian Martin
Science Group Leader, Viticulture & Oenology
My research specialities and interests encompass eco-physiology of the grapevine and the influence of viticultural and winemaking inputs on wine quality attributes merged with the use of digital technologies in research to accelerate knowledge acquisition. I developed and managed one of NZ’s largest single vineyards Ara (now Indevin Bankhouse) and have worked in senior management, technical and operational roles for leading New Zealand wine companies Montana and Corbans. In these roles I oversaw viticulture and wine production at large scale for both ultra-premium and commercial grade wines.
