A reporter who fell in love with the vineyard

Des Houghton has spent his career telling Australian stories — first as an award-winning newspaper columnist and editor for more than two decades and now as News24's dedicated wine expert.

He has walked the rows at harvest, argued vintages over long lunches, and built friendships with the families who grow the wine you drink.

He isn't interested in scores for their own sake. What Des seeks is the story within every bottle: the character of the soil, the imprint of the season, and the people who bring it to life.
