About Elise Bonon
Expressive, dynamic. Winemaker Elise Bonon’s disposition is very much reflected in her genuine passion for nurturing each varietal’s persona within the loving parameters of sustainable practice.
Growing up in Bordeaux (Fr) with a passion for science, Elise gravitated towards the wine industry and rapidly fell in love with it. After few internships and vintages spanning some of the premier wine regions of France including Medoc, St-Emilion and Cotes du Rhone, she graduated with a Master of Wine making & Viticulture from the University of Montpellier (Fr). Curious to travel the world and pursuing her passion, she gained experience in California at the prestigious Napa Valley before signing up for a vintage in Australia in 2017. The rest is history.
