I was blessed to have a father and mentor who was constantly instructing in his craft.
I grew up with wine in my blood. Some of my earliest memories surround family, wine and being with my dad in the cellar. I hope to pass that imbued knowledge on to my own children and grandchildren.

I aspire to be the mentor in the craft of winegrowing to my daughters that my father was to me.

Watching the first grapes come off of Figgins Estate brought me and all our crew enormous joy.
First Fruits
I remember thinking as I took this photo that I was literally nevous to fire up the destemmer. It was all so fulfilling and perfect in the bins!

There is only one way that I know of to teach the necessary work ethic for success in the wine business . . . WORK!
Winter Pruning
Jason Magnaghi is my right hand man in the vineyards without whom FIGGINS wouldn't be possible.
Figgins Family
A huge thank you to all of my family. Without their support FIGGINS would not have been possible.
