You grew up in and around a vineyard, what effect did that have on your career?

Yeah, I’m lucky enough to be the sixth generation on the same property. I suppose what that does is, it results in you doing a lot of learning by osmosis. I grew up in the vineyards and have always had wine in my blood.

Is there as story or a specific event that changed your path or set you on this path?

I originally thought that I was going to be a lawyer, but I worked out pretty quickly that I didn’t want to wear a suit everyday. I think sometimes when you are immersed in something you look outside it, you know, the grass is always greener. So, you spend time looking beyond what is right in front of your face. Basically, I had to get my confidence up, being a female and coming back on to the farm, as such. And, also getting more confidence in my palate.

What was your vision when you started winemaking compared to what you are doing now?

Well, beforehand, I was really immersed in the corporate winemaking, with Southcorp. And, I was traveling around to loads of different regions around Australia and particularly North America. Now that I’m home it’s such a different focus, it’s much more family orientated, it’s much more small, it’s much more artisan, and much more hands on. Now, it’s all about creating a legacy for future generations.

How important was finding a mentor?

They’re awesome. Particularly John Duval, Peter Taylor and Peter Gago. They really supported me and via that I was able to get a scholarship to study at UC Davis, work for Gallo over in the States. Those sort of people I will forever be in debt to. It’s pretty awesome the support you get as a young winemaker.

There are so many wine shows, you yourself have won many awards. What defines success in wine for you?

While it’s awesome to be able to put on a dress and be part of the limelight and receive trophies—that’s really a recognition from your peers. But I think, for me, it’s more the consumer.

If you have someone that actually finds your email address or finds your phone number and actually rings you up because they had a really great experience. They had it at dinner and my wine just made the night, that sort of stuff is awesome. When you really have people understanding what you are doing and buying into your aims, really just enjoying your wine with their mates, I reckon that’s the best.

When you really have people...just enjoying your wine with their mates, I reckon that's the best.

You are about to launch a new Shiraz with Jazz Wines. What are your hopes and aspirations for it?

I am super excited about it. Not only because the wine delivers at its price point, and has such great potential. But I think that the whole concept of Jazz Wines, the whole educational side—trying to demystify wine for people and putting people in contact and linking them to winemakers and then also linking it in with the Jazz fraternity—I just think it’s such an awesome concept.

Is there another winemaker you’d recommend we have a conversation with?

Oh, we’ve got lot’s of people. I think, like the bigger guys—there’s some people doing really cool stuff at Hardy’s Tintara. There’s d’Arenbergs, Chester Osborn is always doing pretty exciting things. And then there’s lots of really small, small time guys. Justin MacNamee from Samuel’s Gorge is doing some really good things with Shiraz. He’s starting from a really tiny base, but he’s quite possible the most passionate man in the universe. He’d be perfect to talk to.
