Ben Haines Wine

Ben Haines graduated from the University of Adelaide in 1999 with a degree in viticulture, waiting a couple of years (immersing himself in music) before focusing on his wine career. An early interest in terroir led to a deliberate choice of gaining experience in diverse regions including the Yarra Valley, McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills, Langhorne Creek, Tasmania and Central Victoria, as well as time in the US and France. His services as a contract winemaker are in high demand, and his name pops up all over the place. Exports to the US and Asia. -JAMES HALLIDAY
