Paul Evans is our dedicated winemaker. He owns and operates his own contract winemaking business, Quercus Oenology, based at Tokar Estate here in the Yarra Valley. Specialising in small quantities of wine for boutique wineries, Paul has established a first class operation utilising the best equipment available. He keeps his winery and machinery meticulously clean and his record keeping is very thorough.

Paul has studied winemaking and gained experience in Germany for five years before 
returning to Australia in 1995, where he broadened his experience with wine styles when he took a position with Domain Chandon. Here he concentrated predominantly on sparkling wine varieties. Paul then accepted an offer from Oakridge Estate to become Assistant Winemaker and later was appointed Winery Manager with the responsibility of overseeing the entire wine production for the company.

In 2002 Paul embarked on his own enterprise in close association with Leon Tokar at Tokar Estate. Here he aims to product the finest examples of cool climate boutique wine styles from one of the most distinguished grape growing regions in Australia.
