Full Time
Mudgee,

Lusso Estate is a boutique winemaker specialising in Italian varietal wines based in Mudgee New South Wales.
We grow nine Italian varieties on the Estate – Sangiovese, Barbera, Nebbiolo, Lagrein, Pinot Grigio, Vermentino, Arneis, Aleatico and Picolit – and each year produce around sixteen different wine styles for sale – primarily through D2C channels.
Our annual harvest is around a hundred tons of fruit, all of it processed in our 720 sqm winery, and stored in an airconditioned room.
The Estate also has a busy restaurant and a function centre, and a farm product operation producing grape, fig and olive products.
With available support, the winemaker will be solely responsible for all cellar procedures, from vintage, sourcing and the bottling operation. He or she will lead the search for the most appropriate winery management software and will work closely with our outsourced viticulturalist. A key role will be to work with the owners to optimise each vintage.
The ideal candidate will have an active interest in all aspects of viticulture and winemaking. We envisage that you will have about five years post-graduate industry experience and a recognised wine education qualification. International winemaking experience would be an advantage.
There will always be consulting resources available to the winemaker and we offer working visits to Italy and local professional development to ensure that the spirit of di Lusso remains on track.
