After some 43 years in the wine industry, I retired from corporate Australia in 2019. The Hunter Valley has been home to my wife Debra and I for over the past three decades. We live in Hunter Valley Wine Country surrounded by an 8-hectare vineyard which was first planted in the 1960’s. Over the past twenty years we have reinvigorated the vines and have sold the fruit to local wineries with some exceptional parcels being made into wine and sold under our own label. What do you do when you retire?. I don’t play golf, I don’t have a boat, or a plane, so I decided to get back to the best job I ever had, winemaking, and make all the fruit from our home vineyard, and a super-premium parcel of Barossa Shiraz into wine and sell it into the domestic market.
* In his previous Neil was the Chief Wine Maker for McGuigan Wines, the only winery
crowned International Winemaker of the Year four times.
