Angus Vinden is as laid-back as he is confident. When I had the chance to work with him during OPSM’s Dedicated to Everyday Excellence campaign, one thing became clear—his dedication to his craft runs deep. Angus’s approach to winemaking is grounded in respecting the land and trusting nature, but always with a careful hand. As he put it, “You can’t make a great bottle of wine with a poor bunch of grapes.” That’s Angus— letting nature do its thing while making sure it’s nurtured every step of the way.

Spending time with him on the vineyard, you see the care and passion behind each bottle. The way he respects the soil, how each decision is rooted in producing the best grapes possible. And trust me, his wines are nothing short of extraordinary. I highly recommend grabbing a bottle (or a bunch) at www.vindenwines.com.au or his cellar door – you won’t be disappointed.

Being immersed in the life of a winemaker was an experience I won’t forget. The days start early and end by a crackling bonfire, with a glass of wine in hand, as an electrical storm rolls over the hills in the distance. Some shoots you really do get lucky.
