YEW LIN GOH
Yew Lin's passion for wine spans nearly four decades, beginning during his time as a junior salesman at Jardine Fleming in London. Now a highly respected business leader, Yew Lin brings his extensive experience as an oenophile and wine connoisseur to Kahiwi. His involvement represents the realisation of a long-held ambition to create exceptional Central Otago wine, blending his business acumen with his deep appreciation for fine wines.
“My family fell in love with Central Otago - the place, the people and the wines - and we have been regular visitors since 2006. I’ve enjoyed a number of superb, age-worthy Otago wines that didn’t yet have the global recognition they deserve. When Mike and Olivia proposed to buy the Kahiwi vineyard, with mature pinot vines planted from 2000 on slopes below Mount Pisa, I knew we were being offered something special, with the potential to make a great and distinctive wine that will contribute to the reputation of the region.”
