This is our philosophy.

Our vineyards are selected for the pursuit of organic and sustainable practices for outstanding fruit quality.

With each wine that we craft, every piece of the winemaking puzzle has been carefully considered and deftly executed. However, knowing who, what, where and when is not enough.

The secret to making these wines lies within relationships that take time and trust to forge—something that simply can’t be bought. The key to these crucial relationships is held by our founders, Nick and Trudy. Between the two of them is over three decades of selling, buying, discovering, and crafting wine.

They are the mind, the heart and the soul of Break Free Wines. They understand great wine and they know how to unlock it—with a vision for every vintage that runs all the way from vine to glass.

About Trudy

CREATOR, OWNER & VISIONARY

After 30+ years in the corporate world (yes, I am that old -or maybe even
older age is just a number anyway) I knew I wanted more I just didn’t know what
it was at the time.

I knew that I had keen eye for detail, a love of food, travel, design,
fashion and art but my real passion was connecting with people through events
that kept them coming back for more. So how could I bring this all together?

I had previously worked with Nick (my husband) selling wine, but deep down I
knew that those wines weren’t for me. I didn’t want what everyone my age was
drinking, so I thought I would have a go at making my own with a little help
from my friends.

I wanted wines that broke the rules, had a strong female voice and that were
driven by colour, aromatics and texture. I wanted wines that are fresh,
youthful, bright and made you want to share them with friends. Something
different, something new. So in 2021 Break Free was born.

Welcome to my world.

 

About Nick

BUSINESS & LIFE PARTNER

This is Nick. Funny, intelligent, amazing storyteller and a
person with over 30 years working with wine, making wine and collecting wine he
knows a thing or two about wine,

He has owned a number of businesses in this industry and has a reputation for being someone who has built some incredible brands over the
years. He loves Chablis, can cook a mean steak and is my greatest friend and the best mentor a girl could ask for.

After working in this world for such a long time I knew that
Nick had contacts with grape growers, experienced wine makers, production facilities, distributors (in Australia and overseas) and he understood how to take an idea, build a brand and get it out to market. 

What more could I ask for?
