It was whilst she was living in New Zealand in the 1990s that 

Charlotte developed a fascination for wine and wanted to unearth the stories within each bottle. After completing a Post Graduate Diploma in Viticulture and Oenology at Lincoln University, Charlotte moved to Australia where she completed vintages in the Hunter, Barossa and Yarra Valleys with prestigious wineries such as St Hallett and Coldstream Hills. 

European wines have long held a fascination for Charlotte, who seized the opportunity to work as a winemaker in France’s renowned Languedoc and Chablis regions. This is where her interest in Chardonnay deepened. Once the seed was sown, Charlotte moved to Margaret River to finesse her knowledge of Chardonnay at Devil’s Lair winery.
