Stephen is a passionate winemaker, an expert in old vine and single vineyard wines, and has been crafting red wine vintages at Kaesler, Nashwauk and Clare Wine Co since 2002.
With 30 years experience in the wine industry, Stephen was hooked from the first time he entered a winery and realised the power of the grape - and the person in the white coat!
He has worked in a number of wineries in his career including Lindemans, Penfolds and Charles Melton resulting in a wide breadth of knowledge from the science of oenology to the importance of marketing and presentation.
Stephen has acted as an Associate Judge at the Barossa Valley wine show and has also completed a number of vintages at Domaine Prieure Roch in Burgundy where he learned the natural winemaking process which lead to the creation of the Fave Grenache.
Polish Hill vineyard Is a 30 acres (12 ha) block with 10 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and 20 acres of Shiraz that was planted in 1999.
The soil varies but is mainly a sandy loam over stony medium clay followed by weathered bluestone. There are seams of slate through the property and the Pyrites. The aspect could be described as a sloping North Westerly one at an altitude of 480m. The average annual rainfall is 660mm and the region is generally 1-2 degrees cooler than our other sites. It is the last of our sites picked
