Graham has a background IT but quickly caught the passion for viticulture and wine when travelling in New Zealand, which prompted a change in career in 2004.  Now based in Dorset, Graham is well placed to manage the fast-growing number of vineyards for clients across South West England.

Vinescapes is the leading vineyard and winery consultancy in the UK providing a ‘Ground to Grape to Glass’ service supporting growers and winemakers with their wine adventure. Services include detailed site selection, vineyard establishment, vineyard management, winery scoping and design together with mentoring, training and world class research and climate science.

Dr Alistair Nesbitt, CEO, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Graham to our team and feel very fortunate to have his experience, skills and expertise as we further grow the services and support that Vinescapes offer to new and established vineyards.”

Graham commented: “I have known Vinescapes and the team for a while and recognise their excellent reputation and outstanding client focus.  I look forward to joining the UK’s leading vineyard development company and using a technical and science-based approach to improve the health and productivity of the vineyards we manage.”
