About Us

Our Winemaker

John Schuts started his winemaking journey in Western Australia then travelled to France to refine his craft in Burgundy. His passion for Pinot Noir drew him to Tasmania.  His experience at Derwent Estate, and love of the southern winemaking regions of Tasmania, then led him to Puddleduck and the unique flavours of the Coal River Valley.

Our Viticulturist

Andrew Hanigan is 5th generation of the family-owned business.

Andrew has been working on and developing the Vineyard to achieve skin contact grape consistency. The grapes he nurtures and manages are of the finest quality anywhere in Tasmania.

He has been working in the Vineyard since he was 13 years old, learning his craft and completed his training here in Tasmania.
