About us:

Established in 1988, Dorrien Estate is nestled in the heart of the Barossa Valley on the site of the historical Dorrien settlement. Once the railway centre of the Barossa, Dorrien was where the Barossa’s highly prized wines started their journey by train to other parts of Australia and beyond. This connection to far reaching places has always been at the core of what we do, which is to source the best grapes from passionate growers in the finest regions across Australia, and craft them into premium small batch wines that are enjoyed all over the world.

We currently have an exciting opportunity to join the fabulous winemaking team based at our Dorrien Estate Winery. This newly created role gives you freedom and flexibility within a framework to create and nurture your passion to deliver wines from a range of regions across South Eastern Australia.

  • Participate in broader Pinnacle group winemaking activities: benchmarking, classification, and winemaking forums.
  • Support brand marketing and brand development activities.
  • Manage contract winemaking relationships and collaborate with Dorrien site leadership to deliver successful winemaking outcomes.
  • Participate in the management of growers.
  • To deliver wines to agreed quality and profitability targets.
  • Management of inventory to supply and demand balance.
  • Delivery of wine to support achievement of Pinnacle revenue, margin and BDF budget and growth objectives.

  • Demonstrated wine making capability, producing a wide range of wine styles and qualities.
  • Ability to further develop winemaker skills and capabilities.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with a wide range of people.
