Alex Beckett

Winemaker

A Hunter Valley local, Alex Beckett joined Briar Ridge as an Assistant Winemaker in 2016. Recognised as one of the industries up and coming talents, Alex’s passion for wine began while working part-time in Hunter cellar doors and wineries. Naturally, Alex went on to study Viticulture and Wine Science at the University of Adelaide during which time he was awarded the prestigious Sydney Royal Wine Scholarship.
A talented young winemaker, Alex’s dedication and enthusiasm saw him promoted to the role of Winemaker in 2018, responsible for Briar Ridge’s unique portfolio of Hunter classic wines and alternate varieties.
“It’s an absolute honour to work at Briar Ridge. The fruit off our Mount View vineyards is really unique and some of the best in the Valley. I love making wines that showcase this uniqueness. Seeing our members and customers enjoy the wines we create though, is the best reward.”

OFF THE BEATEN TRACK – About Us, Briar Ridge

“When we discovered Mount View, our little piece of the Hunter Valley, it was home, even though it’s a little bit out of town.

We uncovered soils and a climate here that would help us create wine styles and flavours that were distinctively ours.
We also knew our view would be hard to beat.

Since then, it’s always been about embracing every aspect of growing, making and enjoying quality wine.
The wines we create are a combination of hard work, rich soil and flavour combinations that are worth savouring.
And they’re best enjoyed and shared with family and friends or at our cellar door (with a mountain view and an antipasto plate, naturally).

This is our world. This is our wine. And you’ll find it off the beaten track.”
