Winemaker's Bio
Quentin graduating from the Curtin University of Technology with a Post Graduate Diploma in viticulture and winemaking, with Oenology as his major. He has undertaken many vintages and appointed as winemaker for many of the leading winery in Margaret River。
For the past 10 years our acclaimed and awarded Chief Winemaker works hand-in-glove with the Howling Wolves team to control all aspects of our winemaking – from the vineyard to the barrel to achieve the very best expression of the premium Margaret River fruit.
His wines are made instinctively, sourcing great fruit from vineyards around Margaret River, and crafting them gently into gastronomic styles that are refreshing and elegant.
Our wines reflect a strong sense of place. we strive for purity and persistence of fruit while maintaining elegance and delicacy in structure. The characteristic freshness and flinty undertones lends itself to wines that gain complexity with age. Somewhere between old world austerity and new world opulence lies the essence of Margaret River style - the structure of the old world and fruit-forwardness of the new.
