    Coming Up

    Winemaking sits at the centre of Julian Bermingham’s work at Pirathon Wines in Vine Vale. The role asks for daily attention, seasonal judgement and a palate that can read fruit as it moves toward finished wine. From Queensland to the Barossa, Bermingham has built a career around those demands: patience at the right moment, precision where it counts, and the discipline to let each vintage set its own terms.

    Where They Are Now

    At Pirathon Wines in Vine Vale, Bermingham holds the winemaker’s post, with the estate now the setting for his current work. The craft here is about continuity as much as decision-making: carrying experience from one site to the next while staying alert to what the season and the cellar require. For Bermingham, Pirathon Wines is where that work is concentrated now. The Barossa chapter matters in that progression. Before Pirathon Wines, Bermingham worked as winemaker at Seppeltsfield in the Barossa in 2023, placing him in one of Australia’s most established wine regions. That experience sits behind the present role, marking a path shaped by movement, regional knowledge and the measured practice of winemaking.
