It has been a pleasure to work with such a talented group of winemakers and viticulturalists and I take great pride in seeing the Foley Wine portfolio develop in both wine quality and brand value. I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved as a team and, I know that the team will continue to grow and develop in the years ahead." Mark Turnbull CEO said, "Alastair has made a considerable impact on our business over his past six years with the company. He has been the driving force behind our purpose of making great wines that people love to drink around the world. The team has all learned a great deal from Alastair and moving forward we will continue to work closely with Alastair in his consulting role."

Mark Turnbull CEO said, "We are delighted that Stu has decided to join our team in a consulting role, both of our Marlborough and Martinborough teams are looking forward to working closely with him. We have made significant gains in terms of markets, through the quality of both our viticulture and wine making. Stu will be instrumental in further progressing the viticulture programme of the business." Stuart Dudley said, "I am really looking forward to working with the viticulture team at Foley Wines, it presents a great opportunity for me to be involved with some great vineyards and people all working towards improving performance across the board."
