THE TREVOR JONES STORY

Trevor Jones began his winemaking career in 1977 at Bernkastel Wines, with Rob O'Callaghan, working through two vintages, before accepting a position as assistant winemaker at Karrawirra Wines in 1979. In 1982 Trevor was appointed winemaker and remained in that position until 1986. During Trevor's time at Karrawirra he also made wines for Kellermeister Wines.

At the end of 1986 Trevor moved to the Upper Hunter Valley, in NSW, to take up employment as winemaker for Tyrrell's Vineyards at their Glenbawn Estate Winery. In 1989 he returned to the Barossa Valley as full time winemaker for Kellermeister Wines.

Since returning from the Hunter Valley, Trevor has been successful in numerous wine shows, most notably being the 1993 Barossa Valley Wine Show, where he was awarded three trophies, one being The Most Outstanding Barossa Valley/ Eden Valley Dry Red for the 1990 Cabernet Merlot. In 1994 he was equally successful, being awarded the trophy for the Best Wine from a small producer (crushing less than 500 tonnes of grapes) for the 1994 Chardonnay.

Trevor's most recent successes came from the highly regarded, Robert Parker Jnr. of The Wine Advocate where he was awarded two perfect 100 point scores (never before awarded) for the Old Barossa Tokay and the Barossa Liqueur Shiraz Tawny. These awards were recently followed by Best Boutique Riesling for the 1998 Eden Valley Riesling, awarded by Boutique Wines of Australia 2000.
