Worlds Apart Wines
South Australia
Brand Overview
Founded in 2017 by Louis Schofield, Worlds Apart Wines is a small family winery focused on crafting beautiful, delicious, and approachable wines from South Australia’s best vineyards. Working closely with a handful of grape-growing families in McLaren Vale, Eden Valley, and the Adelaide Hills, the winery emphasizes minimal intervention winemaking, sustainable vineyard practices, and careful attention to detail.
The philosophy behind Worlds Apart Wines is simple: wines are made to be enjoyed at lively tables, alongside great food and good company, rather than to impress with power or weight. Sustainability, accessibility, and ethical practices are at the core of their approach, reflecting a modern and conscientious outlook on wine production.
Winemakers – Louis & Hannah
After more than a decade in fine wine retail and the world’s top restaurants, Louis Schofield launched Worlds Apart Wines to create wines that are thoughtful, delicious, and drinkable. Drawing inspiration from cult Australian and European producers, Burgundy classics, and peers in the Adelaide wine community, Louis works alongside Hannah to ensure every vintage reflects care, consistency, and approachability.
