About Winemaker, Brendan Carr:
As a Southwest Western Australian native, Brendan turned naturally towards Margaret River’s vineyards when he realised that professional surfing was not the career trajectory for him. A desire for more led Brendan outside of Australia, where he chalked up experience as a travelling winemaker assisting in the production of vintages, gaining viticulture experience in both old and new world wines. Joining Xanadu in 2012, Brendan has since been recognised in his field, appearing as a regular Australian wine show judge across the country, and even receiving an invitation to the prestigious Len Evans Tutorial in 2018.
