Circulus Wine

John White was born and raised amongst South Australian wine regions, and this fostered an ambition to study winemaking, yet a call to finance diverted his attention from his oenology degree, and it would be some 30 years later before wine would beckon him back. Together with wife Kim White, John acquired Coatsworth Farm in Portalington, a 32ha site, in dire need of some TLC, and with much love, Circulus Wines was born. ’23 marked the first vintage for the duo, with 4 wines released under the label – chardonnay, pinot noir, syrah and cabernet franc. Circulus Wines are certified members of Sustainable Winegrowing Australia. -KATRINA BUTLER
