13. Mark Ebbels | TarraWarra Estate

I drove out to TarraWarra Estate to talk to Mark Ebbels on one of those intermittently stormy/sunny days where the sky was sort of darkly menacing but at the same time beautiful and cloud cascaded down the valleys of the foothills forming the backdrop to the Yarra Valley. Mark grew up amongst all this beauty before venturing overseas to work in some of the world’s top restaurants including The Fat Duck and Bacchanalia. Now he’s back championing seasonal and local produce and has introduced an intriguing plant-based element to the winery menu.
