Jeff Moss Vigneron Margaret River Story by Moss Brothers

Career choices are often made by following examples of elders. Jeff Moss' career choice crystallized after discovering the wonderful properties of a beverage delivered fortnightly to his parents’ home.

The mood-altering nature of this substance was apparent to an observant 9 year old. Jeff's parents and their friends laughed and sang after a glass or two of this mysterious beverage.

Why not uncover the secret? Make sure the coast was clear, get a glass, splash some dark purple fragrant liquid into his glass. Taste.

Other kids could stick to their raspberry cordial. No cordial compared with this. The moment was as defining as a flash on the road to Damascus.

Little did Jeff realise the beverage was a rich Shiraz, probably Barossa? No matter. Quite unforgettable, and ever since his wine of choice. How to guarantee a regular supply? Easy - get into the wine industry.

65 years later Jeff is still that excited child when he discovers a new style or refinement in wine - which tells him that he made the right career choice back then.
