Ben Glover: Learning to let go and start giving back


Ben Glover winemakerBen Glover

Ben Glover, 52, is the leading force behind The Coterie in Marlborough, New Zealand. In this collaborative space he makes the fruit of his family vineyards into the wines of his brands Zephyr, Bob Short for Kate, Massey Dacta and Spoke – the latter is a co-project with UK-based merchant Liam Steevenson MW.

While Ben’s story neatly traces the rise of Marlborough as the powerhouse of New Zealand’s wine industry, he has now come full circle. With The Coterie, he has, ‘established a place for the next generation to come make their wine, rock the world and show off Marlborough in a provocative and new light. Without barriers and with an open collective collaborative culture,’ he says.
