“Having the opportunity to work with premium organic fruit means that my intervention is minimal. As a winemaker, my job is to nurture and guide wines in their journey throughout the winemaking process. Ultimately, I love to create wines that demonstrate an expression of time and place. Lively, bright flavours where individual and diverse sites can be seen in the glass.” – Monica Gray, See Saw
Head Wineworker Monica actively contributes to the future of the wine industry as a board member of The Australian Society of Viticulture and Oenology and Orange Regional Viticulture Association. Her favourite wine to make and drink is Chardonnay. Fortunately, Orange produces some of the best in Australia! Her favourite season is Autumn of course! Vintage is the most exciting time of year in the winery. Add crisp mornings, sunny days, and stunning Autumn colours.
We asked Monica if she were a See Saw Wine what would she be?
Hmmm…. That’s a tough question! Maybe a Riesling? A little quiet and unassuming but have lots of intensity and drive! Can (hopefully) age well too haha!
