Cellarhand Rocky Gully

About Rocky Gully

Frankland River is one of the coolest wine-growing regions in Western Australia. It is situated far from population and industrial centres, has no major vine pests or diseases and offers a pristine, pollution-free grapegrowing environment. Onshore winds off the southern ocean and moderate summer temperatures provide optimum ripening conditions. Rocky Gully wines are made from traditional varieties with an individual approach to winemaking. Developed for the modern lifestyle, these are vibrant, fresh, food-friendly and easy-drinking wines.

He shares winemaking duties with brother-in-law Brian Kent, who developed an interest in winemaking during a stint in London, where he worked at Majestic Wines. He went on to complete a postgraduate degree in Viticulture and Oenology from Lincoln University in Christchurch, New Zealand. In 2003, after his first vintage in Frankland River, Brian worked vintage in Russian River, a sub-region of the Sonoma Valley in California.
