Peta Baverstock
Peta’s journey into winemaking began when she observed the distinct culture of food and wine in her best friend’s Italian family. The sensory fascination, coupled with her scientific inclinations, was ignited during her high school chemistry class discussing fermentation. Her academic path led to study Oenology at Adelaide University. Her choice to specialize in sparkling winemaking emerged as a unique pursuit during her graduation years when the emphasis was mainly on white and red wines. Recognizing the need for differentiation, she was drawn to the meticulous nature of sparkling winemaking that suited her detail-oriented personality. Peta joined Farmer’s Leap in 2017 when she crafted Destiny. Now overseeing ten labels and owning her own label, she relishes the diversity of her role.
Her winemaking philosophy revolves around meticulousness, driven by her classical training and meticulous nature. Despite the increased commitment in time and resources, Peta finds crafting sparkling wines richly rewarding and fulfilling. She demonstrates a level of dedication and expertise, we are grateful to have her part of the Farmer’s Leap team.
