I’m a South Australian winemaker and artist proud to care for a 12-hectare Lenswood vineyard. My father and I first planted grapes on the site in 1982, when the Adelaide Hills was best known for stone fruit and apples. I saw its potential for cool-climate wines and find great joy in continuing to produce them.
My career began back in 1972, working in Orlando’s Barossa cellar. I studied oenology at Roseworthy College and returned to make wine at Orlando before joining Hardys in 1976. I produced white wine for Hardys until 1987, then became chief winemaker for the Hardys Group until 1992 and worked with about 10 per cent of Australia’s grapes.
On leaving Hardys I relished the chance to focus entirely on our Lenswood property and its plantings of chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, riesling, pinot noir and cabernet sauvignon. One simple thought drives my winemaking: to grow grapes of excellence in a site carefully chosen to suit its varieties.
