Setting
Venturing out west calls for a compulsory stop at True and Daring. Previously known as Sandihurst, it was founded back in 1988, making it one of Canterbury’s earliest wine labels. Taken over by South African Hennie Bosman and his ex-ballerina wife Celia in 2005, the winery has undergone some major changes in recent years, most notably the decision to focus solely on riesling.
