About Us
Vinarchy. Redefining Wine.
Established in 2025 following the merger of Accolade Wines and Pernod Ricard Winemakers, Vinarchy is an exceptional global wine company committed to redefining wine.
Crafting extraordinary wines in Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Italy, South Africa, Chile and the United States, and sharing them in almost every corner of the world, we are relentlessly innovative, ambitious and imaginative at every stage from grape to glass.
About the Role
Based in the Barossa in South Australia, the Vintage Laboratory Technician role is integral support to the winemaking process through accurate and timely execution of laboratory analyses. The role is 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.
Key Responsibilities
Performing routine laboratory tests (e.g. Sulphur Dioxide, pH/TA analysis).
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 Will Bring
An interest in wine science and a willingness to learn in a laboratory environment.
Tertiary qualifications in Chemistry, Microbiology or a related field are desirable, but not essential – relevant experience or a strong aptitude for laboratory work will also be considered.
Some experience in a winery and/or laboratory environment is advantageous but not required – training will be provided.
The ability to work shifts and weekends is essential.
Basic computer literacy, including familiarity with Word, Excel, and Outlook.
Why Join Us?
Vinarchy is a home for passionate people to do their very best work. We believe in empowering our people and celebrating success.
We offer a competitive rewards package and the opportunity to work with a world-class team.
You’ll also have access to:
Staff wine allowance and access to unique wine specials.
Wine tasting as part of induction.
Access to an extensive online learning library.
Annual Flu Vaccination Program.
Access to psychologist and Employee Assistance Program.
Cafeteria with discounted meals.
Onsite Gym.
Exclusive employee discounts with national retailers
