“I like things that drop naturally, they fall into place.” Much like Guild Member John Seccombe who originally studied medicine, and found himself falling in love with winemaking.

“As much as you can strip down the winemaking, you always frame it through your picking decisions, through the things that you don’t do. I think you are always going to have that footprint or fingerprint on the wine.” Guild Member John Seccombe
