Vinaceous Wines creator Nick Stacy has separated from the business and resigned as partner and managing director.
The business will continue operations under the present partnership group which includes winemakers Michael Kerrigan and Gavin Berry.
Nick says the time has come to begin new wine adventures with his wife, Trudy.
“After thirteen years at the helm of Vinaceous Wines, I’m ready to explore new pursuits in wine,” he says.
“I’m thrilled to announce that Trudy and I have acquired the Reverend V and Clandestine Vineyards brands as part of this mutual separation.
“This will provide us with new opportunities to create and collaborate with new winemakers across both Western Australia and South Australia with a focus on single vineyard sites within key regions.
“With three decades in the wine industry, I have accumulated wonderful relationships with growers, winemakers, distributors and importers, all of which I believe will underpin the success of Clandestine Vineyards, from grape to glass.”
The Clandestine range includes six wines.
“The range will be unrestricted by location, variety or house style,” says Nick, who will pair “carefully selected winemakers” with each parcel of fruit.
Clandestine Vineyards has been working closely with Savvy Comms and the graphics team at Landmark Studio on the development of the new brand.
“The iconic lock symbolises Clandestine’s special access to some of the most remarkable vineyards from Australia’s greatest wine regions,” Nick says.
“Behind the lock lies the crucial elements that make our wines what they are — climate, biodiversity, a respect for nature and the hard-earned relationships that underpin our access to these vineyards.
