January - New Zealand/Australia
Clark Estate - New Zealand
Winemaker: Simon Clark
After long careers as a soldier and a nurse, Peter and Jane Clark bought a sheep paddock by the Black Birch Stream in the Awatere Valley and established 20 acres of Sauvignon Blanc from scratch. They then set about learning how to manage a vineyard. Their son, Simon, joined the team as winemaker after completing his BVO and working vintages in Australia, Germany and New Zealand. “My passion is making the wines for Clark Estate, in the beautiful Awatere Valley. If I’m not on the vineyard, you’ll find me relaxing with my two young boys, Adam and Charlie.”

Chapel Hill Winery - Australia
Winemaker: Michael Fragos
During the 1980’s and 1990’s, winemaker Pam Dunsford became one of the most famous women working in wine in Australia as she built the Chapel Hill brand into one of the most recognizable boutique wine brands. In 2013, Michael Fragos brought in a new era of stewardship with his intuitive flair, creative winemaking and collaborative spirit and was appointed chief winemaker and general manager. “Our aim is to produce some of the best and most memorable wines from the McLaren Vale region. We believe we are doing this with imaginative winemaking, precision viticulture, sustainable practices, and a team-feeling of being part of a tradition that goes back almost 185 years.”

Margerum Wine Co.
Winemaker: Robert Dougherty
Robert's understanding and interest in winemaking developed at an early age while working alongside his aunt and uncle. Under their mentorship, he learned the art and appreciation of crafting elegant, handcrafted and food-friendly wines. Margerum Wine Company is committed to creating handcrafted wines using only the highest quality grapes so that we can make wines that are indicative of the place where they are grown. We strive to make wines naturally, to make wines that have individual characteristics and to make wines with personality. The scale of production is kept at a level where we can touch and know the wine as it is raised to the bottle – the antithesis of mass production. The standards of quality are measured by our criteria – not by external sources.
