Student Profile

Corrina’s winemarketing degree helped turn her family’s 6 generation tradition of grape growing into their own wine brand. 

Corrina Rayment

Six generations of Corrina Rayments's family have worked the same property in McLaren Vale, so you could say that wine and grapes have always been a part of her life.

But now Corrina has used the skills she learned during her wine making degree at the University of Adelaide to turn her family's vineyard in McLaren Vale into their own wine label.

"Now we don't just grow grapes for other wineries, but we make them into our own wine brand as well".
