Meet the Business Owner

Mark M.

Business Owner

Mark Maxwell is a Director and the Principal Winemaker of Maxwell Wines. Beginning his winemaking career by working in school holidays plunging ferments and cleaning tanks for his father, and other local wineries, he has now completed 35 vintages for the Winery, with responsibility covering all aspects from the vineyard, through vinification, and ultimately — in time — to final blending and bottling. This hands-​on approach gives Mark the opportunity to do justice to the superb fruit borne by his estate vines, creating wines that bear Maxwell’s signature style — rich, pure, fruit-​driven wines that benefit from careful and restrained oak maturation.
