Guroo Wines
The Guroo Project is a fantastic initiative created by The Stoke Wines’ owner Nick Dugmore, designed to help winemakers discover Kangaroo Island as a wine region by employing experienced industry winemakers to come and develop their own relationship with not only the place, but also the people and its unique vineyard sites. The winemaker, who is a ‘guru’ of the particular variety, joins for three years, and is delivered two tonnes of grapes to the winery. They decide the picking time and whether the grapes are hand- or machine-harvested, and make all the decisions around the making of the wine according to how they believe it should be done. This winemaker has complete creative control – including the bottling date.
