About this listen

Andrew Kenny and Ben Castine are part of a new wave of Clare Valley growers blending respect for tradition with a push for more sustainable and regenerative practices.

Andrew runs Kenny Wine, a label focused on showcasing the best of single-vineyard fruit while caring for the land. Ben and his wife manage their own vineyard at Watervale alongside his work with EcoGrowers, helping farmers shift toward more resilient, environmentally friendly systems. Both have been recognised as Young Guns of Wine for their forward thinking, showing you can farm for the future without losing what makes this region great.

They’ve faced challenges like oversupply, water security, frost damage, and the mental toll of working in a tough climate, but they’re driven by a belief in community and a healthier way forward for wine.
