Jean Désiré Féraud
Jean Désiré Féraud was a pioneering French prospector and winemaker who, in 1863, became one of the first to produce wine in New Zealand. His legacy continues today with the revival of Monte Christo Vineyard, where a descendant of his original vine clone has been replanted, and the vineyard now offers a unique wine tasting experience.
