Rosie Butler was quite the pioneer in the New Zealand wine industry, she got involved in the early 1970s. She is a winemaker and worked in both NZ and Australia before establishing LIMEROCK WINES with her Australian husband Rodger Tynan, an ecologist, in Waipawa in Central Hawkes Bay.

Full retirement is not quite yet on the cards however, as the two are busy selling the stock of their beautiful Limerock wine
