The Team

Hi, I’m Jeremy, co-founder and winemaker here at REW. In 2006, I left little old New Zealand to do a vintage in California before finding myself in Chile, the home country of my beautiful wife Catalina.

After meeting in 2010, we packed our bags to explore some of the world’s greatest wine regions, before settling on Marlborough as our new base and home.

While I got stuck into making wines, Catalina continued her career as a dentist. Alongside working our day jobs and welcoming two wonderful children, Benji and Sofia, we started making small-batch ‘garage wines’, leading to where we are today.

For the most part, we’re the whole team behind Ripple Effect Wines, a special family project that we hope will bring joy to all who encounter it, just as it has us.

We know that it takes a village...

we’ve had so much support from our wonderful friends and family, along with the pleasure of working with some of the most epic brands who have helped us bring our vision to life.

Massive thank you to
