Lucy Clements is a winemaker and wine writer. An inevitable outcome, really, for a girl who grew up in Australia's Barossa Valley surrounded by wine.
A visit to the 1997 Wine Festival at St Hallett was her Epiphany; combining a passion for all things French and an aptitude for chemistry she couldn't think of anything she'd rather do other than make wine - despite her Grandma's staunch disapproval for such a male-dominated career.
Over a decade later she has a winemaking degree, 10 international vintages under her belt and is well on her way to receiving the prestigious Master of Wine qualification.
Lucy is, quite simply, bonkers about wine. She writes with infectious enthusiasm, energy and a knack for demystifying the science bit.
