Grant Burge

A sit down with Grant Burge Chief Winemaker, Craig Stansborough, who has been a driving force in Australia's wine industry for over three decades.

From his early days in Gawler, on the cusp of the Barossa Valley, Craig was immersed in the world of wine. Starting as a cellar hand in 1983, he swiftly rose through the ranks, joining Grant Burge Wines in 1993 as Cellar Manager.

Craig's talent, leadership, and unwavering passion have propelled him to the position of Chief Winemaker, where he has played a pivotal role in crafting some of Australia's most renowned wines, including Grant Burge Meshach, The Holy Trinity, Shadrach, and the esteemed Filsell.

As an environmentally conscious winemaker, Craig is committed to preserving a healthy environment for future generations. He serves as an inspiration to aspiring winemakers and is a true gem in the Australian wine industry.

Despite a busy schedule, Craig carves out quality time for family and friends. Father's Day holds a special place in his heart, the kids always enjoy coming home to the Barossa for a family lunch with some special wine. This year, they plan to celebrate with Pinot Noir Chardonnay Sparkling, the wonderful Filsell 100-year vintage and show off the new Grant Burge Midnight Ink Shiraz.

Craig Stansborough stands as an emblem of excellence, shaping the essence of Grant Burge Wines for over 30 years. With each sip, you taste the heritage and passion he pours into every bottle.

GRANT BURGE MESHACH SHIRAZ 750ML

This is Barossa Shiraz at its best, concentrated, big and bold, and it will cellar for 20 years or more. It should be kept for special occasions and served with rich beef dishes.

GRANT BURGE NEBU CABERNET 750ML

There is no holding back on the palate. Blackberry and spice dominating the middle palate, with notes of dark cocoa powder layered in the background. Brilliantly balanced with warm spice and sweet vanilla, that are influenced by the oak usage and a firm, yet silky, tannin structure.
