On Sue’s Blewitt Springs vineyard, five wild geese have lived for many years, foraging for feed between the rows of vines. Each night they sleep on the waters of the dam, seeking refuge from marauding foxes - hence the name five geese
The Trott family has had a long-standing tradition of growing grapes in the McLaren Vale district. Sue’s son Jonathon has been working in viticulture for over 20 years and has managed his family’s vineyards for the past 15 years. Together, Sue and Jonathon have worked tirelessly to produce premium fruit for the five geese label. As Sue says, “good wine can only be made from good grapes.”
Matthew Lawrence has recently joined Sue and Jonathon, working on both viticulture and wine sales/production. Matthew has over 10 years experience working in the wine industry in McLaren Vale, with prior experience in the IT industry. He is able to put all of these skills to work at five geese and has quickly become a vital member of the team.
