PEOPLE OF PERTH - SWAN VALLEY

Описание: Meet Damian Hutton - Chief Winemaker at Nikola Estate in Swan Valley, Western Australia.

Located just 30 minutes from Perth City, the Swan Valley is Australia's second oldest wine-producing region, with nearly 200 years of continuous viticulture.

Damian, a third-generation Swan Valley winemaker, brings over 30 years of experience in the art of winemaking to Nikola Estate, Australia's second oldest continually run winery in Australia. His deep family roots and passion for the craft offer a glimpse into what makes this region so incredibly special.

Damian shares his expertise on producing wines that reflect the true character of the Swan Valley. He details how the region’s warm climate influences the wine flavour and quality, and what makes Swan Valley wines crisp, vibrant, and full of fruit-forward notes.

Damian also delves into the Mediterranean heritage that shapes the region’s wine culture and his leadership in the Swan Valley Old Vine Charter, an initiative preserving the history and legacy of old vines in Western Australia.

This video is an insight into the artistry of winemaking and the enduring traditions of one of Australia’s most historic wine regions.
