Tim Kirk - Clonakilla Wines And Drinking Beauty


Listen Later

In this episode I sit down with one of the worlds most respected wine makers Tim Kirk from Clonakilla Wines outside Canberra.

Tim brings an amazing passion and energy to his work and to his desire to express a unique and complex experience of land, weather, knowledge and wine making.

The Clonakilla story begins in the darkest days of World War II and crosses the world as the young scientist Dr. John Kirk allows the forces of curiosity and risk to drive an idea that changed a generation and gave the world some of the best cool climate wines in existence.

More than simply a business Tim shares how Clonakilla is essentially an aesthetic project, an attempt to express something very special about a special part of the world.

The learning in this discussion is all around the movement from simply trying to make money toward something far deeper and richer. It's about a desire to share your passion with the world. Whatever your product or service you can learn so much from listening to this amazing businessman, wine maker and risk taker.
