Bragato Research Institute

The Gifford room spent time at the new Bragato Research Institute listening and learning about the innovative features the research centre contains.  The research centre was officially opened 27 February 2020 and this is where they spend time researching wine.

A big thank you to MJ Loza, and staff of the centre and NMIT who showed us around.

MJ made us aware of the beautiful tables the centre had received.  Esk winery had gifted them some 100 year old Totara wood that had been used as wine barrels.  A team of joiners have taken the wood and created 3 fine tables for the institute.

Congratulations to the team at Bragato Research Institute, you’re leading the way.
