I've been making wines for 20 years. After qualifying at Elsenberg, Stellenbosch, South Africa, in 1988, I travelled the wine regions of Europe and Australia culminating in a vintage under the famous Murray Tyrell at Tyrells' in the Hunter Valley. Upon returning to South Africa, I was appointed Winemaker at Onverwacht Wine Estate in the Western Cape, where I spent 2 years.
Upon immigrating to Australia in 1992, I made award winning wines at Capel Vale Wines and Wise Winery in the Margaret River Region of Western Australia until 1997.
The desire to produce my own wines, brought me to the Granite Belt in 1998. After a stint at Ballandean Estate, I formed my own contract wine making company, Ravens Croft Wines Pty Ltd.
I now produce the my own label, Ravens Croft Wines, while still making wine for my contractors.
RAVENS CROFT WINES is open friday to sunday from 10 am till 4.30pm. Other times or to enjoy the sunsets please phone.
