Meet our team

With experience in both hemispheres, in all all sizes of wineries, the team are happy to share our thoughts and experiences in all aspects of the wine making process from fruit analysis right through to bottling. With quality being our strength and focus.

Feel free to email us. We can share some ideas and see what unfolds from there.

Ben Johnston

Founder | Viticulturist

 

With 20 years’ experience in some very challenging environments around the world, there is not much Ben hasn’t seen. Working with a large range of soil types (and conditions) in all climatic zones including vineyards in Tropical Zones, Ben has developed both a unique appreciation of viticulture and a real awareness that good wine can be grown anywhere.

Jennifer Bound

Founder | Winemaker

Jen has made great wine in some very unusual places including India, China, and Central Europe. With a Bachelor of Wine Science from EIT and Charles Sturt, Jen spent the first 10 years of her career as a Head Winemaker. She then spent the next decade challenging herself, making wine in a range of countries and environments.

Jen has an incredible strike rate of medals and trophies which can be attributed to her strongest attribute – her palate. An attribute worth its weight in gold during blending trials.
