Michael Hall Wines

Once a jewellery valuer for Sotheby’s in Switzerland, Michael Hall came to Australia at the age of 40 to bring his lifelong wine dream to reality. After graduating dux in wine science at Charles Sturt University in 2005, he took advantage of the inverse hemisphere seasons to do stints in Australia with Cullen, Giaconda, Henschke, Shaw+Smith, Coldstream Hills and Veritas, and in France with Leflaive, Méo-Camuzet, Vieux Télégraphe and Trévallon, no less. Setting up his winery in 2008 in Tanunda, Barossa Valley, Michael put his focus on small vineyards in Barossa, Eden Valley and Adelaide Hills.
