The Visionaries: Russell & Heidi Bevan

Russell Bevan's journey in winemaking is a narrative of passion and precision, deeply rooted in a lifelong love affair with wine that began in his high school years. With a career punctuated by the creation of 34 100-point wines and over 200 wines rated 97 points or higher, his name resonates as a vintner of unparalleled skill and intuition. Russell's winemaking approach is both an art and a science, a balance struck through deep respect for the land and an innate ability to coax the utmost expression from each vine.
