Brothers at War Some Other Guy GSM

Angus Wardlaw - Winemaker and Director

Born into a winemaking
family as the youngest son of a Barossa winemaking pioneer, it is
arguable whether nature or nurture played the stronger part in what
inspired Angus’s love for wine.

Determined to imprint his own mark
on the industry, Angus started his journey bright-eyes and bushy-tailed
at 18-years-old with a vintage at Dorrien Estate. Four-years later, he
relocated to the Clare Valley with an ambitious winemaking position at
Kirrihill.

In his spare time, Angus dabbled with small parcels of
fruit from the Barossa and Eden Valley, with the vision of Brothers at
War coming into focus. Fast forward 10-years, and Brothers at War is now
a successful breakthrough brand, recognised by James Halliday as a
five-star winery.

With an illustrious collection of accolades
already under his sleeve such as ‘Up and Coming Riesling Winemaker’, at
the International Riesling Challenge, and ‘Best Small Producer’ at
Barossa Valley Wine Show, Angus’s achievements demonstrate that his
determined nature has enshrined himself as a new generation of Barossa
Valley greats.

Now, Angus spends his time juggling life as a
winemaker, partner to Alexandra, and father to his son George. The
nature versus nurture debate continues, and the question of whether the
winemaking baton will be passed to the third generation of Wardlaw boys
is yet to be answered. Watch this space.
