Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Richard Burch (Howard Park) - long-term vision, generational commitment, and a deep respect for site.
Q: How do you keep a winemaker happy and engaged for long periods?
There is no single solution; it involves looking after the winemaker, challenging them, and keeping a culture of innovation with opportunities to work across different regions and styles.
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?
He notes weather, timing, and regional specificity as key challenges, while the ability to diversify sites provides resilience and an opportunity to prove organic techniques can be economically viable across varied terroirs.
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 explains his role is spread across Hybo Hill, Mornington, Tassie, Barossa, and other regions, with frequent travel during peak seasons and vintage, plus coordinating with teammates to ensure operations run smoothly across sites.
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.
