Sigurd

Dan Piwko-Graham takes the Sigurd name from his Norwegian great-grandfather, who shared a similarly mischievous outlook.

 

Sigurd Wines was born in 2012 with just two tonnes of Grenache from Blewitt Springs, which Dan fermented on a friend’s veranda.

 

Since 2017 he's devoted exclusively to this project, reimagining the Barossa style (for the most part, with forays into other regions) with a minimalistic Old World sensibility.

 

This all follows a career that has taken him to Central Otago, Alentejo, Bordeaux, Hermitage, Barolo and around New South Wales and Barossa.

 

But as Dan puts it, “when all is said and done, I just make wines that I want to drink.”
