What is a piece of advice you would give your younger self, if you could?ĭon’t knock back opportunities, explore them all. To set up a winery with my best friend so we can both make wines we want to make has been indescribably epic. The awards and trophies are absolutely lovely and humbling and make me so very proud of myself and the wines I have made but when I look back on my life the trophy cabinet isn’t going to be the thing that brings me peace. But I have to be honest and say my biggest achievement has been to completely rethink what I was doing with this career and cut it right back to a more simple model so that my family and I can enjoy our lives and build memories. Winning the Young Gun of Wine in 2021 was absolutely mind blowing, the hugest surprise and such a huge honour - to know that a room of people I respect so much have looked at my wine, my brand and my place in the industry and decided I was worthy of that accolade was huge. There is a lovely thing about winning an accolade as a result of a blind tasting, trophies in the Adelaide Hills Wine show and the Adelaide Review Hot 100 were examples of this - what huge moments to think the wine you have put your heart into has been liked by others. What are your biggest career highlights/achievements? And why was this so significant for you?

Charlotte won Gourmet Traveller's Young Gun of Wine award in 2021, an accolade that acknowledges the creativity, love and passion with which she makes her cuvée's.
