JESSICA MCLEISH
“I was born into the industry and could not imagine working anywhere else. I have has been an active participant in the family owned winery and industry. Completed a Masters of Wine Business at the University of Adelaide, progressing in the Australian Wine Show judging circuit and sitting on committees for the Hunter Valley Wine & Tourism Association.
My role as Owner / Operations Manager is quiet diverse, from working with the vineyard to the winery and lots of talking and traveling with trade.
I have been meticulous in innovative management, to see not only new life breathed into the awarded single vineyard, but also a focus to maintain the integrity and direction of this significant vineyard.
The Estate is perhaps most famous for the McLeish Cellar Reserve Semillon and the winery continues to surprise with new styles and techniques.”
