@crmaryjeanne dispatch from abroad: Missing Craggy week fourteen...

Meet Julian,

Julian has been our chief winemaker since January 2019 and last week brought home the top Hawkes Bay Syrah award for vintage 2019-made even more special as it is the Doug Wisor Memorial Award (our first winemaker, still very missed by all who knew him).
Julian said receiving the award was “a beautiful moment”.
The pressure is on for 2020 Jules!
Our 2020 vintage is looking like another “iconic vintage”, which is impressive on the back of 2019, but we will all remember 2020 for TOO many other reasons.

Julian graduated Dux of winemaking from Curtin University (WA) as a twenty-year-old, which awarded him a scholarship to Burgundy.
He has worked in some fantastic wineries along the way before finding his way HOME to @craggyrange; from Burgundy to Oregon (meeting his beautiful wife) to the Yarra Valley and most recently Margaret River.

My favourite recent accolades of Julians (too many to mention them all); Dux of the Len Evans tutorial and earlier this year Julian was recognised in the top 100 Master Winemakers of the world (in no particular order, but I’d put him in the top 10).
Quote of today from Julian chatting about working with our viticulturist Jonathan Hamlet; they “are never quite satisfied”... I’d call that striving for excellence.

Repost from @jsgrounds following @craggyrange winning the Syrah trophy at the Hawke’s Bay wine awards, as this one has a slightly deeper meaning to us! The Doug Wisor Memorial Award
....................................................................................

It was an extremely meaningful and humbling experience to receive this award last night for our ‘2019 GG Syrah.

Doug’s influence on our winery and the region is immeasurable and continues to this day. Style will go through natural evolution however the unapologetic benchmark for quality that he set remains a constant. As the first red release from my first vintage here, I aspire to walk that line he laid out.

An amazing vintage and an amazing team. Hawke’s Bay Syrah is a thing of beauty.
