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!

We are BACK!

On the first day of spring the Maker and the Drinker were lucky enough to head to the Barossa to chat to Paul Georgiadis, from Paulmara Wines.

This place is gorgeous, and the wines speak for themselves. With a rich family history in Viticulture and Wine Making, this chat breaks down the science of wine, and winemaker Jason Barrette even pops in for a quick chat too.

One not to be missed!

It’s been a while since JR and JW caught up, so long in fact JR has taken over the business of First Drop Wines and making his mark for sure! In this episode, we talk everything FOOD! Because First Drop’s Home Of The Brave is more than wine. The family love and care put into every dish makes you feel like home. Grab a glass or two, sit back and enjoy!

FOOD! Because First Drop’s Home Of The Brave is more than wine - 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.
