Sam Neill voices new video for New Zealand Winegrowers.
He’s better known for promoting dinosaur parks in Hollywood movies, but Sam Neill’s latest project involves promoting something a little closer to his heart – his home country and its popular wines.
The Jurassic Park actor is voicing a video for New Zealand Winegrowers, highlighting the country’s unique qualities that sees its wines much sought-after, namely its climate, location and industry innovation.
And it’s very personal to the 75-year-old actor, he himself owning a family vineyard in Central Otago called Two Paddocks, specialising in premium quality Pinot Noir wines.
The promotion of the country’s wines comes from a position of strength, with exports last year increasing by six per cent, reaching an all-time high value of more than NZ$2billion (approx. €1.2billion).
“This storytelling asset will tell the foundational story of New Zealand wine through the lens of the key pillars of purity, innovation and care – aspects that make New Zealand wine and the New Zealand wine industry so unique and special,” according to Charlotte Read, General Manger of Marketing at New Zealand Winegrowers.
