About us

Vinarchy. Redefining Wine.

Formed in 2025 through the merger of Accolade Wines and Pernod Ricard Winemakers, Vinarchy is a bold new force in the global wine industry. With operations spanning Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Italy, South Africa, Chile, and the U.S., we manage the full wine journey—from grape to glass.

Our portfolio includes global icons like Jacob's Creek, Hardys, and Campo Viejo and rising stars including Grant Burge, Petaluma, St Hugo, and Brancott Estate, plus many more. We are imaginative, ambitious, and unafraid to challenge convention as we shape the future of wine.

About The Role

Based at Berri Estates Winery in South Australia, this role is integral to supporting the winemaking process through the accurate and timely execution of laboratory analyses. Laboratory Technicians are responsible for the collection, preparation, and testing of wine samples across all stages of production, from grape intake through to final bottling.

Operating within a NATA-accredited laboratory, the role involves conducting both chemical and microbiological analyses, maintaining precise calibration of laboratory equipment, and ensuring all data is accurately recorded. This is a shift-based position, with operations running on a 24/5 roster outside of peak season and transitioning to a 24/7 schedule during peak vintage periods, including weekend shifts.

Success in this role requires a strong attention to detail, adherence to quality and safety protocols, and a commitment to maintaining product integrity.

Your Responsibilities Include

• Performing routine laboratory tests (e.g. Sulphur Dioxide, pH/TA analysis)
• Calibrating and maintaining lab equipment.
• Recording and reporting analytical results accurately
• Use laboratory equipment and perform tests that involve a narrow range of variables and easily recognised control limits
• Work under close and regular supervision, although may have autonomy for specific tasks and responsibility for own outputs
• Work in a team and have responsibility for your own work outputs
• Calibrate, operate laboratory equipment
• Maintain laboratory hygiene and orderliness
• Following BRC, HACCP, and NATA protocols
  
  

What You'll Bring

• SACE stage 2 with chemistry and maths is desirable.
• Certificate II in Sampling and Measurement or equivalent.
• The ability to work shifts and weekends is essential.
• Perform a range of tasks where choice between a limited range of options is required
• Assess and record information from varied sources
• Work as part of a team, promoting cooperation and good relations
• Flexibility to work across multiple laboratory areas and shift schedules.
