RiverlandSheridan Alm is at the helm of the Riverland’s ‘Starrs Reach Vineyard’, and recently took out ‘Innovative Vineyard of the Year’ at the Young Gun of Wine awards. Sheridan’s family history in the region stretches back six generations, with she and husband Craig now carrying thetorch into unknown territory. As a mum of 5, Sheridan’s always on the go, and if she’s not careful, can run out of time and energy to look after herself when parenting and wine come first. As her latest award suggests, they pride themselves on doing things differently at Starrs Reach, with a focus on alternative varieties and sustainability setting them up for success.
