Kate McIntyre MW’s parents were pioneers in the cool climate of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, but her initial intention was to be a theatre director rather than join the family business. Now she’s an essential part of Moorooduc Estate, working alongside her dad, Richard. A passionate Europhile, experienced show judge, wine writer and educator, she’s the ideal person to chat to about Australian Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris.

To read more about Kate have a look at the Moorooduc website. You can also follow her on Instagram at @kateandpx.
