John Duval Wines
John Duval is one of Australia's most highly regarded winemakers. Raised on a South Australian farm with three generations of grape growers before him his vinous path was fated. However it was during his 28-year tenure with Penfolds that his passion for the famed Barossa Valley flourished. As Chief Winemaker and custodian of Australia's most famous wine Grange he was instrumental in establishing Penfolds as one of the world's great wineries. His accolades include being named UK Wine and Spirit Competition's International Winemaker of the Year Red Winemaker of the Year (twice) and receiving Wine Spectator's Wine of the Year award. In 2003 John embarked on his own label John Duval Wines inspired by the best of the Barossa Valley's low-yielding old vine vineyards. With a deft touch he crafts intense wines that are as complex and distinctive as the diverse terroir of his treasured Barossa Valley.
