Grounded Cru

Geoff 'Joffa' Thompson left a chief winemaker role at a large producer to launch Grounded Cru in 2013. Working across McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills and Langhorne Creek, the small-batch range spans Pinot Noir and Chardonnay Sparkling from the Hills through to the richer reds of the Vale. Winemaker Matt Jackman spent time in Burgundy and Oregon before returning to work alongside Joffa from the outset.
