David Walker Bell
“Not just what is in the bottle, but the stories behind those wines, and the sensational experience that can be had through visiting the vineyards and cellar doors.”

In the space of three years - since founding WineFolio in late 2019 - David Walker Bell has become one of new Zealand’s key wine writers, critics and communicators.
A native of England, but a New Zealand citizen by choice, David brings a European perspective of fine wine from Europe to our shores - searching out the very best that is available in New Zealand, and with an eye to how that stacks up in global terms.
Quickly establishing a reputation for straight talking and an enthusiasm for all facets of the New Zealand wine scene; WineFolio.co.nz, shows an appreciation for the diverse world of wine - from ‘natural wine’ to the bottles on the NZ Fine Wines list.
