Winemaker's Bio
Alex is from a family of grape growers where the cool climate of his home region – up in the Strathbogie Ranges – was perfect for their premium Pinot Noir, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. With grape growing and winemaking firmly in his mind, he couldn’t help but take on a degree in winemaking from Charles Sturt University (BAppSc).
Alex has gained experience around the world in Napa Valley, Jura and across Australia in the Hunter Valley, Margaret River, Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills.
