Odyssey Wines is owned by Rebecca
Salmond. Rebecca's voyage into winemaking began at Massey University in New Zealand
and Adelaide University's Roseworthy College
in Australia, where she graduated with a degree in Biotechnology and a Post Graduate Diploma
in Winemaking Science. She then travelled and worked in some of the world's finest wine and
culinary regions: Burgundy, Bordeaux and Cote Rotie in France; Alto Adige and Sicily in Italy; Marlborough and Hawkes Bay in New Zealand. Rebecca launched her label Odyssey in
1994, with small amounts of premium wines. Odyssey now has 25 acres of land in Marlborough's Brancott Valley under vine. Rebecca's well-honed philosophy sees her
making only subtle adjustments to the wine, and using where appropriate the finest
oaks. All wines are single vineyard. Odyssey Wines has garnered a number of accolades and awards.
Kym Watt joined Odyssey Wines in 2006 and runs the office and sales. It is Kym who during vintage calms the choppy seas.
