Holding a Bachelor of Science from Canterbury University in New Zealand and a Masters of Agricultural Science (Viticulture) from Adelaide University, Diane has over 17 years viticultural experience, with the past 10 years spent overseeing both new developments and mature vineyards.

During this time, Diane has also spent five years based in the Limestone Coast of South Australia, where she was responsible for sourcing fruit for many well-known and respected brands, including Penfolds, Wynn’s, Seppelts and Lindeman’s.

Her depth of experience also extends beyond Australian shores to New Zealand, where Diane held the position of Group Senior Viticulturist at Nobile Wines for three years, before accepting her current role and returning to Australia in 2005.

Diane has a particular interest in unique Western Australian fruit, especially the classic Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blends.
