Sue Bell and Jordan McAnaney are two voices in wine who crossed paths only last year but have already found plenty of common ground. Sue has built a reputation over decades for her focus on community, sustainability, and climate-appropriate wine at Bellwether, while also drawing on her Aboriginal heritage and a deep respect for the land.

Jordan, still early in his winemaking career, brings curiosity and courage to the table, stepping away from more traditional farming to reshape what a vineyard could be, and putting his ideas into practice straight away.

Since connecting at the Langhorne Creek wine show last year, they have shared ideas, supported each other, and found that bringing together different experiences can push the industry forward.

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.
