Handpicked makes regionally expressive and site-specific wines in a growing list of the world’s great wine regions.
Handpicked Wines founder and managing director William Dong admits that he came into the wine industry knowing little about the challenges ahead; he just loved wine and wanted to make wines that people would want to share together. It didn’t take long to realise that to make truly great wines that express the best of their region he would need to invest in special vineyards and passionate people.
Capella Vineyard on the Mornington Peninsula was the first vineyard purchased, in 2013. It remains Handpicked’s spiritual home and where our winemakers are based. They now own six vineyards in Mornington, Yarra Valley, Tasmania and Barossa Valley. In other regions in Australia and around the world they work with exceptional growers who have become part of the Handpicked family over many years.
