Winemaker's Bio
Graduating in 1992 with a degree in the applied science of
Oenology, Andrew Koerner headed off to the Yarra Valley in Victoria, working
as assistant winemaker at St. Huberts. This winery became part of the
Len Evans Rothbury group along with the historic Saltram Winery in the
Barossa Valley, allowing a transfer back to South Australia as winemaker
at Saltram in 1995.
With a thirst for wider experience Andrew moved to Rosemount
in New South Wales’ Hunter Valley in 1999. Here he took on a role as
Senior Winemaker, later becoming Manager after Rosemount’s merger
with Southcorp in 2001.
In 2004, Andrew was made an offer to join and lead the team
at Blue Pyrenees Estate and was delighted to come on board. Andrew
recognised Blue Pyrenees as an iconic Victorian brand from a still
emerging region, the Pyrenees, which has the most diverse winemaking
potential Andrew has ever seen. Andrew has been making Glenlofty wines since 2011.
