JK.14 Wines
Following an incredible provincial rugby and 63 test match All Black career (jersey #14), Sir John Kirwan (JK) went on to play in Italy and eventually coach their national team, as well as Japan in later years.
In Italy he fell in love with the country, culture, food, wines and his Italian wife, Fiorella. The focus of his Italian love affair and the home of many of his wines and wife, is Treviso in Northern Italy.
JK became Sir John Kirwan when he was knighted for his contribution to raising awareness about depression.
Working with his daughter Francesca, the JK14 portfolio includes wine varieties such as Carmenere and Valpolicella that brings New Zealand a taste of something special from the Old World of wine.
