Our featured winemaker is Kym Jenke of Jenke Vineyards.  Kym began his career as a winemaker after graduating from Roseworthy College with his degree in Enology.  After earning his degree in 1987 he worked in California's Napa Valley for Demoor Winery and then returned home to work for Kies Estates in Lyndoch (Barossa Valley, South Australia).  He started his own label in 1989, and in paying tribute to the five generations of grapegrowers before him, he chose to produce his wines bearing his family’s name.

Kym has won many awards for his Jenke Vineyards wines over the past 20 years, including the Barossa Wine Grape Council Trophy for the Best Small Producer (1994) and his most recent award, the Hiatt-Advertiser Wine of  the Year (’02 Semillon) for the state of South Australia (2006 & 2007 consecutively).
