The Shrieking Witch Wines Story
Featured Products
Shrieking Witch Wines is the passion project for South Australian winemaker Nigel Nesci. Constantly surrounded by vines and wines growing up saw him working in, planting, training and picking grapes for wine production. Growing up on a vineyard, and working on a vineyard as a kid really gives you a connection and a passion for nurturing vines and growing the best fruit possible for winemaking.
After being formally qualified in winemaking and wine marketing, Nigel worked in cellars in South Australia and becoming a flying winemaker working across the globe getting his hands dirty from the USA to Germany and as far
as Romania.
Fast forward several more years of winemaking across Victoria and SA, with wife Jen and 3 loud and screechy (Shrieking) daughters, the family moved back to be with the rest of the clan in South Australia onto an old farm that was in the Lehmann family for many decades. Turning away from larger scale blended vineyard wines, we now have an acre of dry-grown Shiraz, and also a tiny Montepulciano vineyard and lots of pets.
Winemaking Style & an unpopular opinion...
The last decade or so has seen many producers change to produce what is described as modern, soft, lighter
wines with little new oak influence. Well, that is not us... Our approach for Red wines is to deliver as much colour, flavour and bang for your buck as we can. Without being too high in alcohol like the good old days, our wines are worked hard to produce rich, juicy, well structured Barossa wines out of the fantastic concentrated fruit from here in the Barossa Valley. Just pour a glass - you'll see what we mean.

Please try our wines and support our tiny family wine business.

OUR PATCH OF DIRT IN LIGHT PASS, BAROSSA VALLEY, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
Our acre of Dry-grown Shiraz as well as 4 short rows of Montepulciano lies on deep red-brown
loam. A layer of clipped grasses lay over the top to keep the evaporation low and frost risk low. We
hand prune, and due to our deep root system, we attain low cropping of small berries. Big
colour, bigger flavour and balancing tannins. Most of our wines are available cellar door only.
