Charlie Melton – Charles Melton Wines - A toss of the coin decided my destiny - The Maker and the Drinker

What a story. This winery is one of the most divine in Australia and the man behind it, Charlie Melton sure has a tale to be believed.  After a failed trip to Uluru and ending up in the Barossa Valley, a toss of the coin decided his path onwards and now we sit in a Church on his property, tasting decades of their famous Shiraz.  The man behind this iconic wine is a down to earth, hardworking bloke whose ute has over 200,000km’s on it. Join us as we are captured by the story of Charles Melton Wines.

Ian Hongell - Torbreck Wines - Crafting Collectable Wines - The Maker and the Drinker

Ian Hongell is a Barossa Valley winemaker through and through. At one of the region’s most prestigious wineries, he crafts collectible wines from some of the world’s oldest vines. After spending almost two decades at the Barossa’s Peter Lehmann Wines, where he rose to chief winemaker, Ian joined Torbreck in early 2017. Here he makes full-flavoured, powerful wines that age gracefully for years. It all starts with the best grapes he can get his hands on and a gentle approach in the winery. We record this in the most beautiful smelling shed full of oak, barrels and red wine goodness!   W – http://www.torbreck.com [http://www.torbreck.com/] I - @torbreckbarossa See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Tim Smith - From Rock Royalty to his own Winery - The Maker and The Drinker

A 25 year overnight success! Tim Smith used to work alongside Australian Rock Royalty. Being around the likes of Cold Chisel and Midnight Oil, music was his journey. Soon enough after expecting his first child, he grabbed some casual work at Yalumba, stayed there for almost two decades, and decided it was time for the Tim Smith name (and thumb print) to be on a label. Today we are recording inside his brand new winery on the first day of crushing on the new site. It’s been four years of planning, and finally the day has arrived. Get an insight into a passionate, hardworking man who loves his wine! See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
