Nardone Baker Wines
Nardone Baker Wines is a family-owned Australian wine producer, based in South Australia, making wines that are enjoyed all around the world.
It is run by brothers-in-law, Frank Nardone and Patrick Baker, who strongly believe their success to date has been due to:
- their long-standing relationships with growers, their award-winning winemaker and listening to their customers' needs, market by market, around the world.
Mind you, the rest of the team thinks the fact that Frank and Patrick enjoy drinking their wine themselves, must also have something to do with their success!!
