Australia
The Hairy Arm is a Melbourne-based wine consulting and production label founded and owned by Steven and Natalie Worley. Steven, a former geologist with qualifications in viticulture and oenology, manages the vineyards and oversees winemaking. Since its first vintage in 2004, the label has focused on small-batch, minimum-intervention wines from Shiraz in Sunbury and Nebbiolo in Heathcote, including vineyards with volcanic soils. The wines reflect a hands-on, founder-led approach to production.
