THE WITCHES STORY
Shrieking Witch Wines is the passion project for South Australian winemaker Nigel Nesci. Constantly surrounded by vines and wines growing up saw him working in, planting, training and picking grapes for wine production. Growing up on a vineyard, and working on a vineyard as a kid really gives you a connection and a passion for nurturing vines and growing the best fruit possible for winemaking.
After being formally qualified in winemaking and wine marketing, Nigel worked in cellars in South Australia and becoming a flying winemaker working across the globe getting his hands dirty from the USA to Germany and as far a Romania.
Fast forward several more years of winemaking across Victoria and SA, with wife Jen and 3 loud and screechy daughters, the family moved back to be with the rest of the clan in Gawler and Barossa. Turning away from larger scale blended vineyard wines, Nigel now sets out to make single vineyard, small batch premium wines with as much identity and vineyard expression as he can. No blending, all hand made, single vineyard wines. A small patch of fruit is picked, crushed together, fermented together, matured together and bottled as a single batch. It’s like the grapes of a small vineyard are all kept together as a family all the way through to bottle. The result? – a pure and true expression of both the grapes, and the winemaker’s personalities.
