Santa & D’Sas, VIC 2 Pincott Street, Newtown VIC 3220
SANTA & D’SAS is a collaboration between two winemaking families – Santarossa & Di Sciascio. Andrew Santarossa and Matthew Di Sciascio met while studying their Bachelor of Wine Science at Deakin and Charles Sturt Universities. With a shared Italian cultural heritage, a strong passion for making wine and a great friendship a joint venture seemed like a natural next step. The company was established in 2013 and Andrew and Matthew went about sourcing fantastic wine grapes to make their first wines. After a process of hand crafting these wines together, several long lunches and of course a few bottles of great wine, it came time to think about a label for this jointly made wine. SANTA & D’SAS was born. Excited by this concept, production has grown and fruit is now sourced from 5 different Victorian wine regions: King Valley, Yarra Valley, Heathcote, Henty & Geelong.

Three Colours Wine, VIC 21 Rutland St, Newtown VIC 3220
The name refers to the three colours of wine that are made by the business: white, red and rosé. It is also a subtle reference to the French Flag, the tricolor, symbolising the inspiration drawn by the winemaker from a formative year in Provence, France. In the vineyard ‘three colours’ buys grapes from within the Geelong region, and is proud to have sourced fruit from the Bellarine Peninsula, the Moorabool Valley and the Surf Coast. Emphasis is placed on harvesting the grapes when they have produced the flavours which Johnny wishes to retain in the finished wines. Some green harvesting (crop reduction) for example was used in 2017 to achieve this aim. The wines are made by Johnny, who applies much of the knowledge he acquired in his Oenology studies, and many of the skills he has picked up in the vineyard, laboratory and cellar.
