Every small family winery in Australia these days is of necessity a co-operative. Friends and family are what keeps small wineries like Bloodwood out of the clutches of the Corporates.


So be warned..If you turn up at Bloodwood, you may well get a job!


Some of the many important people in the Bloodwood story so far are here publically acknowledged and sincerely thanked.




Visitors and Friends

These are a few of the long suffering people who have stuck with us and
Bloodwood over the years. Some will be familiar faces in the broader
industry and some personal gems we have come to cherish and admire. They
all have been important in humanizing what at times seems a less than
compassionate industry, and for that we are both immeasurably grateful.

Suppliers and Businesses

At Bloodwood we grow the grapes which we make into the wine which
matures in the bottles that we distribute across Australia. Like most
small wineries, we rely on the services provided to us by other small
businesses. Unlike corporations, we buy services first and widgets
second. We want an engineering firm which keeps our machinery going, a
transportation company which provides us with the service of reliable
and timely deliveries and an accountant who ensures that each of the
cold, cold hands continually reaching deep into Bloodwood's pockets has
a right to be there. We need a dry goods supplier who actually supplies
what we need, when we need it, and we need a mobile bottling line we can
trust to package the finished wine with the care and professionalism we
lavish on our wines. Here are a few of the more important cogs in the
Bloodwood flow chart.
