Winery profile
with a focus on sustainable and organic winemaking, Switch Wines celebrate the pull to make artisan wine, crafted by twice national young gun of wine finalist Vanessa Altmann, the progressive winemaker began fermenting small batch wines under the label Switch Wine during 2010 throughout the regions of the Adelaide Hills, Barossa and Langhorne Creek.
During vintage you’ll find us with buckets at the ready, thrown towards friends and enjoying long picnic lunches amongst the vines. We seek organically grown parcels of fruit and working closely with growers and friends is all part of how we like to make wine. We live by the ethos that outstanding wines come not only from great vineyards, but from people who love what they do.
These are small batch wines, sometimes made in quantities as limited as 100 cases. Our aim is to offer these wines in a different way direct from the winemaker to the wine drinker, IT’s that easy.

Picked during March the bunches were de-stemmed and crushed to allow fermentation on skins for around seven days, following pressing the wine was aged in a mixture of French and American oak barrels to develop complexity.
