Treasures
Treasures, John and Josephine’s 3 treasures – unique, innocent and energetic - their children. From the simple delight of children exploring, John draws inspiration, where anything is conquerable, where dreams become reality and where passion is everything. Sourced from some of Australia’s most prestigious regions, these wines are inspirational and elegant, exceeding all expectations.
Quarisa Wines was established by John and Josephine Quarisa (and their three children). John has had a distinguished career as a winemaker spanning over 20 years, working for some of Australias largest wineries, including McWilliams, Casella and Nugan Estate. He was also chiefly responsible in 2004 for winning the Jimmy Watson Trophy (Melbourne) and the Stodart Trophy (Adelaide). In a busmans holiday venture, the Quarisas set up a very successful family business using grapes from various parts of NSW and SA, made in leased space. Production has risen in leaps and bounds (from 20000 dozen a year or two ago to its present level) in a tough economic environment, and the exceptional value for money provided by the wines may well see both continuing in a tough market. It is no surprise that leading national distributor Domaine Wine Shippers has taken on the brand.
