My official foray into winemaking took place in 2001, although the seed
was planted many years earlier when my family established their Adelaide Hills
vineyard in 1991. My previous career path, marine biology and aquaculture,
brought me to Tasmania where I took up a vintage cellarhand position to help
pay the rent whilst undertaking post graduate research. Two weeks into harvest
and I was hooked! From my new home base in Tasmania, I completed the Adelaide
University post-graduate degree in winemaking and embarked on vintages in the
Adelaide Hills, Yarra Valley and Oregon (USA). But the passionate and dynamic
winemaking community and the enormous potential for discovery has always lured
me back to Tasmania. Delamere represents to me the opportunity to produce wines
from the vineyard through to the glass, working alongside family with some of
the finest quality fruit in the country.
