Handpicked Wines is an Australian wine producer with a unique business model. Unlike most wineries, we do not limit ourselves to one region or style. Instead, we ‘hand pick’ the world’s best regions and varietals to make wines with a supreme sense of place. This means our winemakers are constantly busy, travelling the world to ensure we produce the highest quality grapes from each and every region. It’s a bold idea, but it works!
