Background

About Jane Bromley

I am a Pinot Noir and cool climate Shiraz tragic, who loves making bubbles too.and there are a couple of fortified wines in the mix as well. I grow grapes and make wine in the beautiful Adelaide Hills, South Australia, with my partner Hylton McLean - for our premium label, Honey Moon Vineyard. Why Honey Moon? Well. the moon is such a noticeable feature of the vineyard's nightscape and the autumn moons, around harvest time, are particularly honeyed and beautiful. The history, science, alchemy, and art of wine have long held my interest. It has been many years since my first experience of an Adelaide Hills grape harvest, in 2001, and since planting our vineyard, in 2004, and I remain fascinated and energised by working in wine. The old world wines and vineyards of Europe are a source of inspiration and underpin my many years of work as a wine educator, with a particular focus on sparkling wine. I also have had the privilege of two interesting and rewarding careers in the university sector - firstly in plant science research and later in enterprise-wide professional roles concerning policy development and implementation, legislative compliance, and enterprise bargaining. In between those two careers I spent a few years working behind the scenes in the art world. I'm happy to talk all things grape and wine, any day. Let's connect!
