Samantha Scarratt, viticulturist for wine label Wither Hills, shares what she’s learned on the job
MY JOB: I’m responsible for the growth and supply of quality grapes for Wither Hills winery. That means ensuring I have an awesome team who can contribute to this. I love working with people and coaching them to achieve success. We’re celebrating Wither Hills’ 25th birthday this year, which is a huge achievement. I’m very proud of the team – a quarter of a century in business is nothing to be sniffed at!
WHAT I ENJOY MOST ABOUT MY WORK: I love the diversity and the split between working indoors and outdoors. It keeps the work interesting. I can be in the vineyard discussing plans with a vineyard manager and looking at grapes one minute, the next I could be in the office helping develop wine strategy for Wither Hills and an hour later I could be in the winery tasting our latest vintage with the winemakers.
