DELAMERE: Hailing from Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, one might describe Fran as slight, petite, with a gentle, delicate demeanor. But don’t be fooled, there’s more-than-meets-the-eye to Fran and she’s certainly an old hand when it comes to working with winemaking machinery and dealing with the harsh Australian climate while maintaining her vineyard. In fact, she’s far stronger and tougher than most people you’ll ever meet.

SINAPIUS: 2020 was a tumultuous year for many. But for Linda Morice, it was a year she never expected when her husband Vaughn Dell, aged just 39, died suddenly in his sleep from an undiagnosed heart condition. Needless to say, it has been an incredibly  tough path to walk on her own, but with the support of family, friends and industry colleagues, and an established brand built on their combined integrity and sheer grit, she knows what it will take to continue Vaughn’s legacy in this next chapter of the Sinapius wine brand.
