IN THE MEDIA

"The country's most accomplished winemaker."

Andrew Jefford, Evening Standard

"The ... Group has an admirable range of wines which I have served with pride."

Jancis Robinson MW, Financial Times

"John Worontschak's wines sing a tune which I find thrilling. God bless him - I hope they don't revoke his work permit."

Oz Clarke, Webster’s Wine Guide

"Outspoken wild man of wine John Worontschak can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned. His Four Corners range of wines is consistently good and represents some of the best value for money bottles I have tasted this year."

Jane MacQuitty

"Winner of five out of the last seven Gore-Browne trophies, our top wine prize, this innovative, brash wine pioneer has crammed in two decades of vintages in a dozen or more classic wine-producing countries besides Uruguay, Brazil and Mexico."

Jane MacQuitty, The Times Magazine, Saturday

"John Worontschak is the kind of brash Australian who can rub many a sensitive soul the wrong way, but who epitomizes the irreverence toward tradition allied to consummate technological skills that has transformed Australia. He arrived in England to revitalize a wine industry demoralized by consumer indifference and indifferent grape varieties by applying and Aussie attitude and fanatical attention to detail"

Oz Clarke at the New York Wine Experience, sponsored by Wine Spectator.
