The Ones

Wayne Leadbetter

Wayne has been appointed CEO of Ka Tahi because Danny and Amal think he consumes more than his fair share of the wine.  Wayne has enjoyed working in banking and investment, farming, packaged food, and fast food, but says his career is now terminal at wine.
He believes that Hawke’s Bay has everything to offer wine drinkers thanks to great resources and a wealth of varied and outstanding terroir. He wants Ka Tahi to be a reflection of the potential that Hawke’s Bay presents to the world as a fountain of great wines.
