Musically minded, gin mastermind
Strong Barossa lineage and a desire to create a new Barossa history for herself, led Seppeltsfield Road Distillers’ Nicole Durdin back to the Barossa after two years abroad.
As owners of Barossa’s first commercial gin distillery, Nicole reflects on the all-important blend of history and innovation for the Barossa.
“My husband, Jon, and I always had a plan to come home. Barossa is in my heart and I’ve always felt a strong connection. (the Barossa) is part of me as much as I am a part of it,” said Nicole.
