Artwine is the rosé-cheeked love child of long-time Fab Ladies favourite Judy Kelly and her husband Glen.
These two live-in-the-moment lovers of Mediterranean style wines decided to leave the worlds of banking, research, and marketing behind, and turn their obsession with emerging varieties into a successful business and way of life.
In 2008 when they established the Artwine brand, the Mediterranean varieties they adored were few and far between. What better way to expand than by planting, growing and producing the very wines they were so passionate about?
Fast forward to today and this fun-loving Feral Farmer and Wicked Stepmother are the hearts and grape-stained hands behind the largest range of emerging varieties available in the Adelaide Hills region. They’re completely enamoured with what they’ve managed to build from the ground up and can’t wait to welcome you to their cellar door so you can experience (and taste) it all firsthand.
The Artwine name
The story behind the ‘Artwine’ name is a triptych, drawn from a combination of Glen and Judy’s personal interests, their business philosophy, and a slice of Australia’s winemaking history:
• Glen and Judy share a deep love of both art and wine
• they wanted to create artisan wines from emerging varieties
• the first wine medal ever given to an Australian wine was awarded to Gregory Blaxland—one of Australia’s first farmers to plant grapes for wine-making purposes—at the London Art Show.
