Meet Siobhan Wigan, winemaker at Hentley Farm.

 

Can you describe a pivotal moment in your career as a winemaker, do you have a mentor that has been particularly influential?

Working vintage 2014 with Quinny (Chief Winemaker, Andrew Quin) and Hentley Farm as vintage winemaker (in what was going to be a single vintage). Eight vintages later, I’m still here, helping Quinny craft outstanding wines from a very special patch of dirt. It’s fair to say Andrew has proved to be a key mentor in my career to date!

Are there any moments that stand out in your career?

What do you want to see for the future of Barossa’s winemaking culture?
