Handmade wine with threads of charity

McLaren Vale winemaker Jodie Armstrong comes from a long line of dressmakers. “I sew, my mother sewed, my grandmother sewed and my daughter sews,” she says. “With winemaking, you need that same attention to detail to get your grapes right and it’s exactly the same in the winery.” Armstrong is primarily a horticulturalist, taking care of vineyards in both the Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale.
