About the winemaker

One of South Australia's rising stars, the buzz around the wines made by brothers Sam and Angus Wardlaw has been building rapidly since the project's inception in 2013 with a single tonne of grapes. This culminated recently with the award for 'Best Grenache of the Year' and a 99 point review in the 2021 Halliday guide. Home territory is Eden Valley's cool climate, organic, Pendee Farm. However, beyond the farm the brothers have access to remarkable plots of old vines in of some of the Barossa's most iconic sites. Everything is about the vines - the brothers love the old, gnarly, water starved plants rooted in place in these legendary vineyards, and even more so the characterful fruit they painstakingly provide each year. Stylistically the wines are distinctly 'Barossa' in their power but with an elegance and purity that can only be achieved by using the very best old vine Eden Valley fruit, handled without heavy handed extraction techniques or too much wine making.
