Winemaker Bio
Adriaan Foot and his family settled in Rutherglen late 2022.
Adriaan originally hails from Cape Town, South Africa and completed a bachelor’s degree in Viticulture and Oenology at Stellenbosch University. He worked as a winemaker in the South African wine industry for several years, before the lure of experiencing a vintage at one of the world’s most esteemed wineries in California’s Napa Valley set him on the path of itinerant winemaker.
Several vintages in Australia, New Zealand and California again followed, which also included a stint as consulting winemaker in India’s Hampi Hills region.
In 2019 he made the move to WA’s Great Southern, further honing his craft with estate grown grapes from this renowned cool climate region.
Stanton & Killeen grow a diverse range of grape varieties, including the mainstay varieties of Shiraz and Durif along with alternative varieties (Portuguese) and the famous fortified varieties of Muscat and Muscadelle. Adriaan has vast experience with alternative varieties.
