The story
Saint & Scholar was launched as a project led by winemakers Stephen Dew and Reid Bosward. The brand is presented as a collaborative effort between the two, producing wines from grapes grown in the Gumeracha vineyard in the Adelaide Hills; these wines are also distributed through retailers and an online shop affiliated with the brand.
Production philosophy
The project puts the production site at its heart: hillside vineyards, favorable exposure and the relatively cool climate of the Adelaide Hills to achieve expressive, consistent wines. Production combines a focus on fruit with winemaking practices aimed at preserving freshness and the character of the territory, including traditional methods for the sparkling cuvées.
