Jordy Kay is an organic winemaker growing his own grapes with his vineyard Chevre Wines, located in the beautiful Otway Ranges.

We were lucky enough to visit him down at Barongarook and get a tour of his set up which includes his cabin, cellar and vines. Jordy has an emphasis on not taking life too seriously, which I think would give a lot of us perspective by seeing how he’s pursued his lifelong passion of making wine. I think the greatest lesson learnt in this podcast, is that giving your all is what’s required in making a great product. For Jordy, this means creating a beautiful bottle of wine to open and accompany with good stories.

From his extensive travel, to his brief stint in modelling (of which he now laughs at), at the end of the day Jordy is a humble grape-grower from the Mornington Peninsula - personified by his motto “Don’t be a dick”.
