Our Review
Smidge Wines is owned by Matt Wenk and wife Trish Callaghan. It was for many years an out-of-hours occupation for Matt; his day job was as winemaker for Two Hands Wines. In '13, Matt retired from Two Hands to focus his attention solely on Smidge. Smidge owns a vineyard in Willunga that provides the fruit for all the cabernet sauvignon releases and some of the McLaren Vale shiraz. A new cellar door and winery facility are currently underway and soon to open in late ’24. -JAMES HALLIDAY
