John Davey -
John Davey handcrafts his wines from vine to bottle selecting a small percentage of his family's finest estate-grown grapes each vintage. He describes himself as a "minimalist winemaker" who seeks to capture the true character of the McLaren Vale by avoiding excessive manipulation and treating wines gently from fermentation through aging. A graduate of Roseworthy Agricultural College with a degree in enology, John worked for 15 years as a winemaker throughout Australia including the Barossa, Langhorne Creek, and Yarra Valleys before returning home to the McLaren Vale in 1995 to join his brother Kym for the planting of the family vineyard.
