Home to Villa Maria, our vision is to be one of the world's great wine companies, sharing the best of New Zealand wine with the world.
Our grapes come from over 6,000 hectares of planted vineyards and blended in our wineries across three of the renowned wine regions - Marlborough, Hawke's Bay, and Gisborne - and our wines are exported globally. From grape to glass, we're passionate about wine and we love what we do
The Role As we gear up for V25, we're on the hunt for our Vintage Senior Cellar Hands to join our vintage team at our Gimblett Gravels Winery in Hawke's Bay
For the team at the heart of this annual experience, there's much more to be made in addition to wine. You'll make great friends (it'll feel like family by the end), good money, new skills and incredible memories. That's just a taste of what you can look forward to making when you're part of our vintage crew.
Working a winery vintage is not an easy task - we work long hours, and it's an extremely fast-paced environment. You would be required to apply your vintage experience and winery skills to:
Complete senior and/or more complex tasks in our winery
Coach/advise junior team members and act as their point of contact
In some instances, you may be required to lead a team as well
This is a seasonal, fixed term role and typically, our vintage requirements run from mid-February to July . Because of the nature of our business, our vintage dates might change slightly, but we will always keep you up-to-date with the latest information as we get it.
This role is based at our state-of-the-art winery situated on the edge of the Gimblett Gravels, specialising in the production of Chardonnay, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The proximity of the winery to our vineyards allowing for fruit to be processed within minutes of being picked with gentle machinery allowing exceptional flexibility and quality control.
About you You will bring at least two vintage experiences
Winery specific experience
Available to commit to the timeframes
Sound problem solver with the ability to do so under pressure
Physically fit, reliable and a team player
Have safety at the forefront, living our 'Safety by Choice, not by Chance' value
Be able to speak English very well, give and follow instructions in English too
Be able to either lead a team or provide guidance to more junior team members
Act as a point of contact to more junior team members as and when required
What else to expect? We offer $30-32 per hour, the final offer is based on experience. Along with a great hourly rate, we have a number of additional benefits to add to your package
You'll need to be available to work shifts of up to 12 hours, 6 days per week, at vintage peak
You need to be prepared to undertake a pre-employment medical examination and drug and alcohol test
Our Culture We think our culture is pretty special. We have talented teams working in a variety of breath-taking locations. Our priority and investment in the wellbeing and diversity of our people is core to our purpose.
We're all about authenticity and transparency so rather than bombard you with corporate jargon– here's the real Indevin:
We're a good ol' Kiwi company who is proud to be a wine industry leader and we have years of hard work to thank for it
Our business is proudly spearheaded by the Villa Maria Brand
We take our work, but not ourselves, too seriously
We work with people from all over the world because our diversity makes us stronger
We're very passionate about what we do. We love wine, sharing our knowledge and making Indevin an inspiring place to work
