His involvement has spanned not just the decades, but nearly every facet of the Family Business--from winemaking, vineyard involvement, the bottling line and marketing where he's managed to expand the global reach of the brand to more than 30 countries worldwide.He details how important Family, Wine & Tradition have been the standard-bearers for more than 140 years, a rare continuous story and legacy and one of the oldest on the continent and in the wine world today. With such foundational knowledge and experience, Mark's own story is a fascinating journey with pivotal moments made and of course many ups and downs characteristic of an ever-evolving industry where he says to survive is to adapt. Angove's is well equipped for it, especially as they are still a wholly Family owned enterprise.Where Angove's winemaking history spans more than a century, when 5 generations of a family carry forward the torch to our present day all while offering up some of todays' premier wines of Australia along with a top brandy of the world, much is to be discovered & shared.Pour yourself a good glass of vino, tune in and enjoy this fascinating episode in The Barrel Room with Mark as he tells his unique story and work with Angove Family Winemakers.IG: @angovewine      @vintagewestwinewww.angove.comwww.wineaustralia.comwww.australianwine.comP.S.
