The Saint James Company is in the process of acquiring three New Zealand Wineries, namely Lawson’s Dry Hills, Waimea Estates and Gravitas Wines, to be consolidated into newly-formed The New Zealand Wine Group. Each winery is independently profitable, and brings complementary assets to the consolidated entity.
