Adam Marks and his wife Lynne own Bress. Bress wines were first made in 2001 and in 2005 the Harcourt property was acquired as a home for Bress.

Adam is a qualified viticulturalist and winemaker having studied at Charles Sturt University. With almost 20 years experience he has made wine throughout the world for both large and small producers. Disillusioned with large corporate winemaking, Adam's desire is to produce wines sourced from notable viticultural regions and using a minimal intervention approach in the winery.

Ronald Douglas is our farm manager and is a long-standing member of the local community. What Ron doesn't know about Harcourt is not worth knowing.
