After winning a sweep of awards in Australia and abroad, Samantha Connew (after swearing she wouldn’t) started her own label in 2012. Stargazer may have started quietly but the secret is now out; the wines are sensational.
Thankfully Samantha realised studying Law in Christchurch (shoutout; she’s a kiwi) wasn’t her thing and instead allowed herself to be swept up by the wine world and changed to study viticulture instead.
