While Joe Nardone and John Baker have now stepped back to relax and
enjoy the fruits of their labour, the second generation, Frank
Nardone and Patrick Baker, have stepped into the fray, with a
shared vision of building upon their European heritage to produce
great Australian wines.
Under Frank and Patrick's guidance, Nardone Baker Wines has
assembled a core team of specialists, chief of whom is wine maker,
Brian Light.
Brian is a former Australasian Winemaker of the Year who has
twice been named Bushing King for Best Wine of the McLaren Vale
Wine Show, one of the most highly regarded awards in the South
Australian wine industry. He has 30 years experience as a
winemaker, and in that time has won numerous trophies and gold
medal awards at national and international wine shows.
Before entering the wine industry themselves, Frank Nardone and
Patrick spent time establishing themselves in the business and
marketing world - both becoming leaders in their own field. Today,
as the business managers for Nardone Baker Wines, they bring
significant commercial and marketing expertise, understanding the
need to invest in building brands. They are determined to build a
successful portfolio of brands in each market they enter and will
leverage their business expertise and resources to achieve this
goal.
This modern day and business like approach to wine business sets
Nardone Baker Wines apart from other family owned wine producers
and has resulted in success in several export markets including The
United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong and, of course,
Australia.
