Winemaker

Gonzalo Sanchez

A native Argentinian, Gonzalo has called Australia home for 10 years now. He started his wine making journey in the Grampians, Victoria before establishing his roots here in McLaren Vale. Gonzalo started at Lloyd Brothers as chief winemaker in early 2021, perfectly timed to create the wines from the stunning 2021 vintage. Gonzalo’s passion, integrity and extensive knowledge reflect greatly through his wines as he pushes the boundaries to create new and exciting styles. If you can’t find Gonzalo in the winery, you will probably be able to spot his trademark hair cruising the vineyards in his Army issue Land Rover or manning the coals as he cooks up a traditional Argentinian barbeque to feed the masses.

Vineyard

Miegunyah is a beautiful 45-hectare property with just over 25 hectares planted to vines. Most recently David has planted 2 hectares of what is believed to be the first Picpoul Blanc planted in the Adelaide Hills along with 1 hectare of Prosecco to complement the well-established Syrah, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio. Matthew’s vineyards are located in the Adelaide Hills sub region of Lenswood giving Lloyd Brothers contrasting characteristics when creating and defining the range of cool climate wines they produce.
