The drive to create a sustainable, ecologically responsible wine business has been shaped by Rollo’s desire to build on the solid foundation established by his parents Garry and Margaret, and prepare the ground for the next generation.

After studying winemaking at Charles Sturt University, then travelling to California, Oregon, Italy and the Hunter Valley to work vintages and learn as much as he could abroad, returning to the Mornington Peninsula in 2003. At the age of 30, he rejoined the family business and worked hand-in-hand with his Dad to reconnect with the vineyard he helped plant as a five year-old.
