Winemakers Work History and Training
Ian Burgess trained to be a Horticulturist before becoming a viticulturist, so being involved at a grass roots level is what makes Moorebanks wines so special.
Choosing to grow grapes as environmentally sound as possible is where the true natural flavours of the individual grape varieties can show through.
Sensational wines are from sensational grapes & why fine wine begins long before it goes to the winery.
