Interview

2026 Young Achiever of the Year at the Hunter Valley Legends Awards!

30 years of margan wines 1

As part of the second generation at Margan, Ollie has quite literally grown up alongside the business.

From picking grapes in the first vintage back in 1997, to washing dishes in the Restaurant as a teenager, managing warehouse deliveries and eventually returning home after a decade spent studying and working across South Australia, Central Otago, Bordeaux, Mosel and the Adelaide Hills.

Today, his role spans viticulture, winemaking, hospitality and brand direction, helping lead award-winning wines, regenerative vineyard initiatives and the ongoing evolution of the visitor experience here on the estate.

This recognition reflects years of hard work, curiosity, creativity, care for the land and a genuine passion for the Hunter Valley wine community. We couldn’t be prouder.
