Paul has travelled extensively throughout the Californian wine regions and gained valuable experience with Blackstone winery in the USA, specialising in small scale premium winemaking. He spent three months working in vineyards in the town of Castelfiorentino in Tuscany, Italy and fell in love with flavoursome Italian red varietals such as Montepulciano and Sangiovese.
