Jaysen Collins & Dan Standish Winemaker Barossa Valley Story by Massena Vineyards

Two young blokes cruising their way to work the midnight shift for the last vintage of the century come up with a plan for the future!

On a brightly moonlit Tuesday evening at around eleven o'clock on the Barossa to Clare road, two young blokes (Jaysen Collins & Dan Standish) are cruising their way to work the midnight shift for the last vintage of the century, in a beat-up old Toyota Corolla “The Brown Bullet”.

During the drive home, they would often crave a soft slurpy wine to wash down a hard night's work. Out of this ideal they decided to join forces and make a Grenache-based wine to be enjoyed whenever the mood takes hold.

As such Massena Vineyards first wine “The Moonlight Run” was born.
