    Business Manager | Viticulturist | Wine Industry Consultant With over 25 years in viticulture and more than 30 years in horticultural production, I bring a rare blend of technical expertise, commercial acumen, and strategic vision. My role spans all facets of grape and wine production—vineyard operations, financial management, fruit marketing, wine brand development, compliance, and vineyard assessment works. I work with vineyard owners, management clients, and wine businesses to optimise performance, strengthen financial outcomes, and build enduring brands. Having operated across the full value chain—from soil health and canopy management to market positioning and brand strategy—I connect operational detail with long-term business success. Passionate about quality, sustainability, and innovation, I thrive on bringing people, place, and product together to deliver results in a competitive global wine industry.
