Visiting the homes of our treasured wines is one of the great things about my job. Recently I met with Matt O’Leary and Marie Clay, two of our wine makers at Wolf Blass in the Barossa Valley.

We have 60 winemakers who have gained their experience in wineries all over the world. The depth and breadth of their experience is what makes working in this role so interesting and more importantly why our wines do so well around the globe.

It’s important we spend time with people like Matt and Marie in order to understand everything we can about the wines - so we can do a great job of promoting them. There is no better way of learning about our wines than to hear it directly from our winemakers.

As an example, one of the new wines that Matt and Marie have been working on has its origins in Robe in the Barossa. It's wonderful to talk to them about this wine and to work out how we can best educate wine lovers about this sensational and little known wine region.

One day I can be in the office and the next I could be up in sunny Barossa learning more about our great wines – what job is better than that?!
