Producing handcrafted wines from the Barossa Valley. Clare Valley and McLaren Vale, South Australia. Winemaker: Michael J Corbett.
While its first release surfaced in the Hunter Valley, VANGUARDIST launched in South Australia in 2014, with two painstakingly-crafted, single vineyard expressions. Two wines made from what Michael deemed to be the best varieties, grown in the best soils in the best sub regions the state had to offer. Herein lies the ‘V’ obsession: an unwavering temperament that now finds VANGUARDIST wines in Australia’s most relevant independent bottle stores, bars, and in the secret arsenals of many a fine-tuned Sommelier.
Meet us and step into the Vanguardist domain where we create our small batch wines. Taste current vintage, as well as cellar door only releases. The going on’s at the winery are ever changing, so every visit is different and opportunities present to get involved in the action if you desire!
