Director of winemaking
JAMES MAJER
Like many in the industry, James ‘fell into’ the wine industry due to a (un)healthy appreciation for all things alcoholic. Starting out in the late 90’s originally behind the scenes doing accounts and payroll for some reputable Perth bars.
Fortuitously gravitating to a role managing Perth’s top wine shop, it sent James deep into the world of wine and there was no turning back. The following decades saw extensive experience working in fine wine retail, winery brand management, global export, brand development and marketing, as well as overseeing domestic wholesale markets, with some importing thrown in the mix for good measure.
James is also a passionate guitarist and hiphop producer and is willing to rip a mad guitar solo to secure a sale.
Winemaker
PAUL CARRUTHERS
Hailing all the way from the UK, Paul — AKA Geezer — moved from breast to bottle at an early age, falling under the spell of Lambrusco and becoming a founding member of the Brosè movement after a not‑so‑brief romance with Mateus Rosè. Fortunately, his taste for fine vino improved, leading him to gain a diploma in wine with Steve Charter at ECU pre‑WSET (not available in WA back in those days), and he’s been applying that knowledge around WA for long enough to not need Sat Nav.
Paul takes his whiskey neat, his coffee black, and life with laughter in the heart — old enough to know better and young enough to still make school‑boy errors.
Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.
