Anna + Neil Hawkins
About the winemakers
Anna and Neil Hawkins are a wife and husband team who share a passion for wine and a love for the land. They met in South Africa, when Anna came in for a tasting at the small vineyard and winery Neil was running. Anna had always loved wine, and happily gave up her corporate job in Sydney for a life of winemaking.
They settled in South Gippsland, Victoria in 2014, where they found a small property with great soil and eight thousand vines. They named it The Wine Farm, and set out to create wines that reflect the terroir and the seasons, using biodynamic principles and minimal intervention. Their wines are elegant, joyful and full of character, made from native varieties such as pinot noir, chardonnay, riesling and syrah.
