Winemaker’s Craft ‘Single Suitcase’ Series salutes the many immigrants who arrived in Australia during the 1950’s with only a handful of dreams and a single suitcase to build a better life.
Dreams in hand, these immigrants also bought their love of wine, family traditions and culture.
The impact of Italian culture on
the Australian way of life has been immense, notably influencing our food, wine and sense of community. Today, it is hard to believe there was a time when garlic was unknown, olive oil was only used for medicinal purposes and wine was considered a beverage for foreigners!
A single suitcase immigrant himself, Alessandro Laureti, beloved father to brothers, Frank and Serge produced wine in the Abruzzo region of Italy before immigrating with his wife Maria to Australia in 1955.
Pasta, bread, cheese, meat, and wine are all common ingredients in Abruzzo cuisine.
Today, the Laureti family continues their traditions of a glass of wine with each meal, shared plates, slow cooked foods all enjoyed around
a full table of love and joy for the simple things in life.
The Australian wine community is well known for being experimental and innovative when it comes to growing and producing wine.
Saddler’s Creek Wines echoes these sentiments which is how our Winemaker’s Craft evolved. This collection allows our Winemakers to be adventurous in winemaking styles and techniques, and curiously pursue emerging varietals that are conducive to our ever-changing environment.
