Meet Miles, our Master of Wine

Miles is a Master of Wine (2015) and Managing Director of Milestone Wines. As well as running Milestone Wines, Miles is a WSET Educator, judges at international wine competitions, consults for the on and off-trade and whenever time allows, returns to the Hunter Valley in Australia to make wine.

Born and educated in Australia, Miles’ career in wine began working for Marie Brizzard – supplying some of Sydney’s top restaurants, bars and wine retailers with wines and spirits. After a two-year stint, Miles left Australia and travelled to Yorkshire, England to fulfil a short-term contract to play professional cricket.

Whilst in the UK the diversity of the wine offering and the opportunity to learn via WSET proved enticing and after a brief return to Australia, Miles moved to England to further a career in wine.

Whilst in the UK, and following a vintage at Tyrrells in 2001, Miles continued to travel back to the Hunter Valley (Australia) on a regular basis to work as an assistant winemaker. His passion for winemaking along with the generous assistance from family, friends and colleagues, enabled him to fulfil one of his dreams and become a wine brand owner.
