Samuel Haig Coverdale

Sam Coverdale grew up in northern New South Wales and South East Queensland. Despite the notable lack of vineyards in these regions, he cultivated a desire to make wine, and completed a winemaking degree at Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga. Sam has gained over ten years experience working in wine regions throughout Australia, France, Spain, and also Italy, which has led to his individual, yet versatile, winemaking style.

Sam loves the rewards reaped at the end of each season and even the inevitable bouts of frustration, everything from the planting of the vine to the uncapping of the bottle and the clinking of glasses. He takes pleasure in the challenging blend of agriculture, science and marketing. Even Keel embodies Sam’s balanced approach to life and wine.
