Coulter Wines

Chris Coulter fell in love with wine in the early ‘90s. In ‘07 he undertook a winemaking degree and secured work with Australian Vintage Limited, gaining large-volume winemaking experience in Mildura and the Barossa Valley, remaining there through ’14 under Australian Vintage Limited, and thereafter as part of the 1847 winemaking team after its acquisition of the Yaldara site. Coulter Wines was born in the ’15 vintage as a side project, making wines from another universe – nothing other than SO₂ is added, movements are by gravity and the wine is unfiltered where practicable. He purchases and hand picks grapes from vineyards mainly in the Adelaide Hills. -JAMES HALLIDAY
