Winemaker's Bio
Jarrad Steele is an exciting young winemaker who embraces Pauletts’ philosophy of letting the fruit from the vine speak for itself. And he’s already making his mark.
Jarrad’s first vintage at Pauletts included the 2019 Brielle Grenache, named after his firstborn baby girl and bottled under his own winemaker’s label.
Jarrad saw the potential in some of the older Grenache vines at our Watervale vineyard, a site he regards as the best place to grow the varietal here in the Clare Valley and he put them to good use creating an aromatic, fruit-driven wine that is a testament to his skills. It was a proud moment for Jarrad and the whole team.
Jarrad brings over 15 years of experience to Pauletts. He’s worked at some of Clare Valley’s best wineries, including Kilikanoon and Leasingham Wines. He’s also chalked up some impressive international experience with Chateau Montelena Winery in the Napa Valley.
Jarrad was recently awarded the Encouragement Award for Up and Coming Australian Riesling Winemakers at the 2023 Canberra International Riesling Challenge.
Jarrad is committed to carrying on the family tradition of producing the fine regional wines Pauletts is known for, including of course our world-famous Rieslings.
