The Wined Up
Ben Murray Wines with Dan Eggleton
In this episode we interview Dan Eggleton the winemaker and co-owner of Ben Murray Wines in Barossa Valley, South Australia. This was a fantastic conversation about the joy wine brings to both consumers and winemakers, the importance of supporting Australia’s independent and boutique wineries, and Dan’s wine journey including a few tips of the trade that he has picked up.
In this episode we get to taste some fantastic wines from Ben Murray Wines including: 2023 Riesling from Eden Valley as well as their reds from Barossa value - 2023 Grenache, 2021 Shiraz, 2021 Anima Reserve Grenache, and their 2020 Old Vine Reserve Shiraz.
Dan is a passionate winemaker that loves his art and his industry. He also sounds a lot like Russell Crowe if you listen closely! Thanks Dan for sharing your story and taking us through some fantastic wines.
