Artisans of Barossa - Howard Duncan

Artisans of Barossa - Howard Duncan

Author: DKPS Media February 21, 2022 Duration: 34:54
Artisans of Barossa was formed in 2005 with a clearly stated aim; to protect and promote the art of small batch Barossa winemaking. A positive statement of purpose, but also one implying an intent to resist the drift towards commercialisation of wine, which threatens to reduce the selection on offer to a narrow bandwidth of varietals and stylistic expressions. A beige coloured and vanilla flavoured world of wine that promises supreme reliability, but one that is frustratingly boring!
To be an Artisan is very much about setting your own path, driven by a human desire to explore, experiment and to express ourselves. To create and share things shaped in our mind and made by our own hands from local produce for the enjoyment of others, often proffered with a simple “I made this, please enjoy”. A tinge of pride yes, but hubris never.
Working together, the collaboration of John Duval Wines, Spinifex Wines, Purple Hands Winery, Lienert Vineyards, The Chaffey Bros. Wine Co., Schwarz Wine Co., Hobbs of Barossa Ranges and Sons of Eden will connect you with an opportunity to explore the extraordinary breadth of possibility that is Barossa wine. And through that experience we’ll challenge you to embrace new favourites, and facilitate the gradual getting of wisdom. To be more adventuresome in your approach, and to have a better understanding of what Barossa wine represents. Because we want Artisans to serve as a your door to our wonderful life as a small producer living and crafting wine in this amazing place.
Our new tasting room and restaurant will open at Tanunda in the Barossa Valley in September 2021.

The familiar, intimate format of Wine Soundtrack finds a new home down under. This Australian iteration of the popular Italian podcast, produced by DKPS Media, transplants a simple but powerful concept: a conversation built around thirty questions. Each episode is a quiet, focused visit with a wine producer, where the structured interview peels back the layers of a winery's identity. You won't just hear about grape varieties or harvest techniques, though those details naturally emerge. The core of the podcast is the personal narrative-the origins of a family estate, the philosophy guiding the cellar, the specific challenges and triumphs of crafting wine in Australian soil. It’s designed to move beyond a simple review or tasting note, aiming instead to capture the voice of the people behind the label. Listeners become privy to the candid reflections, the aspirations, and the very human stories that are bottled alongside the Shiraz or Semillon. The format creates a consistent, revealing rhythm, allowing for deep comparison between different makers and regions across Australia. For anyone curious about the character and drive that defines a vineyard, this series offers a direct line to the source, framing the entire world of wine through the lens of personal history and passion. It’s a podcast for those who believe the best stories are often told over a glass, or in this case, through a microphone.
