An Oregon native and graduate of Stanford University, Jen adds a depth of international winemaking experience from regions in the USA, France, South Africa, and Australia. She has completed 21 harvests in NZ and over 35 vintages overall. With Jen leading the winemaking team, their wines continue to receive top honors both domestically and internationally. In 2020, Jen was awarded the title of NZ Winemaker of the Year by Gourmet Traveler WINE New Zealand.


Valli is the creation of pioneering Otago winemaker, Grant Taylor. Grant’s name is synonymous with Otago Pinot Noir. He has been crafting wines in the region since 1993 when there were only 20 hectares planted – today there are over 2,000. Over the past 27 years he has made the first wines for a number of iconic Otago wineries, but now the serious focus is on his own creation, Valli. In 2015, established Otago winemaker Jen Parr joined Grant in the winery where the pair aims to create wines with honesty, integrity, and most importantly, a sense of place.
