Our video is now featured on the home page of South Australian Wine Industry Association's new website.

Thanks for all the love on this one! Check it out 🍷

SAWIA'S NEW WEBSITE |

We have launched our new website, now available as the Industry section on the new Wine South Australia site, to strengthen the resources available to the South Australian grape and wine industry: https://winesouthaustralia.com/industry/

The new Industry section replaces our former website and is a comprehensive industry portal offering resources, training, industry information and SAWIA member services. It works hand in hand with the Wine South Australia Customer site, which showcases the state's world-class wine to the world.

You can click between the two sites using the ‘Wine South Australia’ and ‘Industry’ buttons in the top navigation.

A notice has been sent to members, which explains how to log in to the website, to see member-only resources and prices.

The Wine South Australia brand and website project was funded by the South Australian Government through the Department of State Development. Significant industry consultation occurred during the development of the brand and website.

Part 2 of the SA Wine Industry Awards 🍷

When the South Australian Wine Industry Association asked us to create a video that could inspire both current and future generations of winemakers, we knew the story could only be told through real experience.

We used this opportunity to take our audiences on an high sensory journey to highlight the richness, uniqueness and craft of SA's wine.

Thank you to all those involved in the making of this!

Happy Birthday to the man in charge!

Wishing you a wonderful day of zero meetings and maximum beers 🍻

Ten years ago today, Ben joined Merlin as a fresh-faced intern and managed to turn it into a decade’s worth of incredible work – evolving into a highly skilled camera operator, director and lead colourist.

From docos, to music videos, to narrative, he’s got a diverse skillset in his back pocket ready to push the boundaries with.

His love of cool shots and endless creative ideas means office chats are never boring and our coffee cups are always full!
