Estate Manager
o e W a l k r
My experience with wine making started when Mr. Fenech asked me to put my years of experience in hospitality management to use on managing the wine estate.
My passion is caring for the land on which our grapes are grown, and the areas around our fields; particularly the cellars where our fruit gets turned into wine; a labour of love.
