Wine Insight

Geyer comes from a family of Barossa Valley grape growers and undertook a fairly familiar process of gaining winemaking experience by working for top producers around the world. Those travels took him to South Africa, working at Lammershoek Winery in Swartland, France’s Roussillon at the revered Domaine Matassa, as well as to the US and New Zealand. Geyer’s career, however, began with vineyard work at Torbreck in 2002, which started a seven-year stint in the winery.

After Torbreck, and back from his travels, Geyer and his wife, Sarah, settled in the Barossa permanently. Starting in 2014, Geyer worked with Pete Schell at Spinifex – the cradle for many a top young maker – which gave him both the confidence and the critical sounding board to develop his own wines.

Geyer started playing with the first wines for his Geyer Wine Co. and Yetti & The Kokonut labels, toying with a natural approach across the wines, and experimenting to tease out different expressions from across vineyard sites that he knew well. These sites would become the core of the Geyer wines, with tiny parcels of old vines selected and the plots sometimes lovingly restored after years of neglect.

Dave Geyer skillfully crafts a remarkably enticing and elegant Chenin Blanc using century-old Barossa Chenin Blanc grapes, resulting in a truly delightful drinking experience. This exquisite wine offers a luscious and smooth texture, bursting with abundant flavors of pure yellow fruits, complemented by subtle notes of roasted nuts and herbal tea. A refreshing touch of brisk, tangy acidity adds the perfect balance. With its crisp and savory character, this wine effortlessly bridges the gap between traditional white wines and bold, intense orange wines. It is undeniably a remarkable choice for wine enthusiasts.
