Norse Wines
est. 2000
|
Just 3km north
of Gin Gin on the Bruce Highway. Norse Wines is an easy place to find
and a delightful way to break a long journey up or down the coast.
Just a few hundred metres from the higway you will find the shady
cellar door with its friendly and helpful staff. Feel free to use
the BBQ if you want to stop for lunch and don't forget to try our
wines! We always have time for a chat and we actively aim to educate
our visitors on how to taste and appreciate our boutique wines. |
Thomas Janstrom
Wine Maker

Thomas
Janstrom is the full-time wine maker at Norse Wines. Thomas has spent
many years at Charles Sturt University and the University of Adelaide
studying the complex process of turning simple grape juice into wine.
That hard work and dedication is now beginning to turn into a successful
career with two northern hemisphere vintages under his belt; 2001
in traditional Southern France at La Boume and 2002 in California
for Clos du Val. The next natural step is to apply those professional
techniques to the Norse Wines vintages.

Peter Janstrom
Vineyard Manager
|
Raised
in chilly Denmark and then moving to sunny Townsville in 1983, Peter
Janstrom is not your average Viticulturalist. A clasically trained
architect, Peter first developed his love of viticulture while his
son Thomas was studying in Adelaide. Inspired to begin studying himself,
Peter has developed as a deep understanding of Australian conditions
and how to obtain the best grapes from our challenging climate.
