How Do You Follow 38 Vintages at Brokenwood?
Q: What is the Stuart Hordern wine journey and how did you get to Brokenwood?

The Winemaker Trying to Prove Wine Doesn't Need the Alcohol
Q: How has technology evolved in this space?

The Winemaker Trying to Prove Wine Doesn't Need the Alcohol
Q: What are the biggest challenges in making de-alcoholized wine?
Key challenges include replacing the palate weight lost with alcohol, avoiding a 'juice-like' finish, balancing sweetness without aroma loss, and maintaining acidity and tannin structure, especially in red wines.
The Winemaker Trying to Prove Wine Doesn't Need the Alcohol
Q: What is your wine journey and how did you get into de-alcoholized winemaking?
Aaron describes growing up around wine, studying, working in wineries, and eventually joining a team focused on zero-alcohol and then de-alcoholized winemaking, driven by opportunity, curiosity, and the challenge of making wine in a new way.
Five Way Cellars – One of Sydney’s Wine Institutions
Q: How should a novice approach buying wine?
Start with a core of primary fruit, think about the climate and region, and allow room to explore gradually; taste, ask questions, and let the producer's story guide you rather than chasing labels or price alone.
