With the #harvest now complete, our @campbellswines winemaking team are now completing ferments, malolactic conversions, racking off lees, minimising ullage, filling barrels and bottling the early white wines. Our Harvester Lucy III and Cellar Hands can now take a well deserved break until the next vintage harvest begins in around 300 days. Thank you to our dedicated team! 🍇 #vintage2024 #rutherglen #wine
Meet Mia!
1. What is your job title?
My job title at @campbellswines is Lab Technician and Cellar Hand, but I also help in other areas such as the Cellar Door.
2. Please briefly describe your role?
As a Lab Technician I’m responsible for conducting all tests and analysis related to our wines. For example, one of the key parts of maintaining our wine is achieving the correct sulphite content as this directly effects the longevity and shelf life. I also regularly test for things such as Baumé (sugar content) and pH.
Our wines, whether in barrel or tank, are routinely and meticulously analysed all throughout the production process, as a result there is never a shortage of laboratory work!
As Cellar Hand, I assist Matt our Cellar Manager with tasks such as cleaning tanks, transferring wine around the winery, and preparing wine for bottling. While at Cellar Door I assist with greeting customers and helping them select and try our extensive list of Campbells Wines.
3. How long have you worked at Campbells?
I have been at Campbell’s for nearly 8 months now, but it sure feels like much longer.
4. What do you love about your work?
I love being able to learn new and exciting things everyday. Whether it be in the lab, out in the vineyard or even in cellar door; I am always learning!
5. Favourite Campbells Wine and why?
My favourite Campbells wine would have to be hands down, Bobbie Burns Shiraz! My grandfather absolutely adored this wine, and it must have rubbed off on me. I believe it was even the first red wine that I had ever tried.
6. Hobbies outside of work?
My hobbies outside of work include training my young horse, fishing and camping.

We have now received all of our fruit for Vintage 2024 with our final pick last Friday, just before the weather turned cold and wet, perfect timing! @campbellswines finished with 333 tonnes over eight weeks, characterised by warm dry weather simplifying the harvest scheduling. This was more than expected after the October frost setback.
Chardonnay was a standout in both quality and yield, whilst Shiraz for Bobbie Burns shows excellent flavour with more than 17 different batches.

Labelling our #bobbieburnsshiraz #magnums is all done by hand & in-house at @campbellswines by the talented David 🍷
@campbellswines vineyard hands, Harsh & Eva, busy pumping over the juice from the bottom of the open fermenter to wet the cap of skins that float to the top to extract colour, tannin and flavour. This action also aerates the juice to improve yeast metabolism and cools down the cap.
Eva is working on a batch of Durif, an early pumpover as the colour isn’t fully dense. It’s foaming due to the yeast activity and CO2 produced. #harvest #vintage #2024
Thank you @karafoodwine, @heraldsunphoto, & @deliciousaus for your terrific review on @campbellswines Shiraz Durif. A stunning, underrated wine with great colour and flavour with ripe berries and soft tannins, cheers 🍷 … to buy, click on link in bio.

On Friday we harvested the last parcel of @campbellswines 2024 #vintage Shiraz.
This block was picked on four different dates giving us a few more layers of complexity for @campbellswines #bobbieburnsshiraz.

Our Lucy 3 harvester in operation, picking the @campbellswines Bobbie Burns vineyard, right next to the winery.
The vigorous vibration of the machine is knocking off the berries and bunches onto conveyors in coordination with the chaser bins.
