Description

Heathcote based vintage supervisory and cellar hand positions are available for an immediate start. Working for our family-owned winery with an annual crush of around 1000 tonnes from Heathcote and the Yarra Valley, this position encompasses the entire range of cellar operations from vine to packaged product to paracetamol and multi-vitamins, and represents a great opportunity to gain experience and knowledge in a premium winemaking facility. Working as part of our small team you will be encouraged to taste everything as often as possible, and to become fully involved in all aspects of our winemaking process. We've got heaps of varieties (meunier, pinot noir, chardonnay, semillon, sauvignon blanc, pinot gris, viognier, sangiovese, nebbiolo, tempranillo, syrah, mourvedre, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, petit verdot) and like to think we make some interesting stuff.

Requirements

Supervisors are expected to have some experience and/or qualifications, but this is not a prerequisite for general cellar staff; we're basically after good people who are pretty relaxed, well-adjusted, hard-working and versatile. We are fans of people who come and ask "what's next?" when they finish a job, rather than trying to find somewhere to hide, and of people who don't feel comfortable going home while other team members are still working.

The ability to remain cheerful and calm under stressful conditions and long hours is really important, as is the ability to get on with a wide range of people, and being able to fix stuff (or at the very least not break stuff) would be great too. Common sense and a logical, methodical outlook are both highly valued and attention to detail is absolutely crucial. Shared temporary accomodation including some utilities is available on site. We like people who like cheese but poor taste in music is frowned upon, and the ability to grow a strong vintage beard is held in high regard; for female applicants this requirement may be waived, but it is recommended as a deterrent for the sometimes slightly-too-friendly local farmers.
