THE MAKERS

Justin has had a lifelong dedication to horticulture, and fulfilled his aspiration of establishing and cultivating his own vineyard over a decade ago. Committing himself seven days a week to vineyard management, Justin prioritizes decisions that ensure the sustained health and longevity of his vines. His pursuit of knowledge has been honed through extensive tutelage under esteemed viticulturists in the Adelaide Hills over many years. Embodying a steadfast philosophy, Justin advocates for healthy vines, organic methodologies, and significantly reduced yields as the pinnacle of quality. Looking forward, he eagerly anticipates the 2024 plantings of Chardonnay and Gamay, a new premium vineyard culminating many years’ worth of experience. Amongst his vineyard's established Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc vines, a recently planted block showcases four unique Pinot Noir clones (Abel, 115, 667, D5V12), densely planted to encourage a diverse clonal spectrum that promises a nuanced and comprehensive final wine in your glass.

Harry is a recent 2024 Young Gun of Wine Finalist and has grown up in and around the family vineyard. From an early age he was immersed into the world of wine, sparking a lifelong ambition to become a winemaker. His journey began under the tutelage of the late and esteemed Taras Ochota of Ochota Barrels and then further collaborated with the Pinot Noir experts Stephen George and Liam Van Pelt at Ashton Hills Vineyard, further refining his craft. Previously, he has also worked with Louis Schofield of Worlds Apart Wines, supported throughout by Alex Trescowthick, currently of Red Heads and Tresco Wine, formerly of Nepenthe, who has been a constant mentor. Harry’s deep admiration for Burgundy drives his quest to create wines that authentically express the Piccadilly Valley's terroir, focusing on exceptional quality, meticulous perfectionism, and long-term ageability.
