Winemaker Bio
In 1980 Simon, fresh out of Year 12 at school in Adelaide South Australia, accepted a vintage role with family-owned Yalumba Winery in the Barossa. From a casual position he progressed a career with Yalumba and into the role of Red Winemaker at age 26 and then Chief Winemaker at 33.
During his 20 years at Yalumba, he was instrumental in establishing the fine reputation for their premium red wine brands.
Simon also oversaw the commencement of “Voss Vineyards” in Napa Valley, California in the early 90’s and was Yalumba Chief Winemaker until 1999.
As General Manager for Cellarmasters 1999 to 2005, commercial intuition and executive expertise developed to prepare for the launch of his own company Sorby Adams Barossa in 2005.
2021 was Simon’s 41st vintage.
