There is more to this venture than meets the eye. The simple explanation is that the business is a collective of young winemakers and young wine lovers, intent on building a wine business targeted at new generation wine drinkers, people in their late 20s and early 30s. So far, so good. But the winemaking team leaders are all very experienced: Tim Burvill, consultant winemaker, once with the ultra-premium whites team at Penfolds, and thereafter winemaker and proprietor of Rockbare; Richie Harkham, based in the Hunter Valley; and Dave Mackintosh, of the Yarra Valley, where he wears a number of hats.
