Ben Bussell (Handpicked Wines) - taking the world by storm
Q: What are the main challenges and positives of maintaining an organic program across different regions?

Ben Bussell (Handpicked Wines) - taking the world by storm
Q: Can you walk me through day-to-day life balancing multiple sites and how often you travel?

Ben Bussell (Handpicked Wines) - taking the world by storm
Q: What were your thoughts when Handpicked came up as a role, did you feel like a shoo-in or were you nervous about taking it on?
He wasn't sure he'd be the obvious choice given his limited organic exposure and experience in cool climates, but he saw the opportunity as aligning with his broader aspirations and demonstrated adaptability across regions, which helped him land the role.
Ben Bussell (Handpicked Wines) - taking the world by storm
Q: So tell me, you were born in Wangaratta on a sheep and cattle farm, what was life like and how did that shape your path into viticulture?
Ben describes a rural upbringing on a farming property, the pull of agriculture from a young age, and how night-school viticulture classes while finishing high school steered him toward uni and a formal viticulture degree, laying the groundwork for his later focus on organics and vineyard management.
James Thomas (Heroes Vineyard, Otway Ranges) - From Surfing to Winemaking
Q: If you could only drink three drinks for the rest of your life, what would they be?
A Burgundy white and red for the wines, beer to keep functioning, and a Margarita cocktail for a bit of fun—balancing high-quality wine with everyday pleasures.
