Shobrook Wines

Tom Shobbrook is more than a winemaker; he's a philosopher of the vine. After spending six years working in Europe, particularly in Italy, he returned to his family's Barossa Valley vineyards with a revolutionary idea: to make wine that was as unadulterated as possible. This was a radical concept in a region known for its powerful, ripe wines, but Tom was undeterred.

He became a leading figure in the "Natural Selection Theory," a collaborative movement with other like-minded winemakers dedicated to low-intervention practices. His philosophy is rooted in organic and biodynamic farming, with a deep respect for the vineyard as a living ecosystem. He champions wild yeast fermentation, uses no additives, and keeps sulfur additions to an absolute minimum, often none at all. This results in wines that are pure, vibrant, and a true reflection of the vintage and the land.

Tom's wines are renowned for their freshness, texture, and unexpected character. From his famous "Poolside" Syrah Rosé to his textural Rieslings and elegant reds, each bottle tells a story of a winemaker who trusts nature and isn't afraid to break from tradition. He's a dreamer and a true artisan, and his wines are a testament to the power of authentic, unmanipulated winemaking.
