About Empire of Dirt Wines
Tash Webster is the founder and winemaker of the Moorabool Valley based label Empire wines (previously Empire of dirt wines). She gained experience working in many wineries and vineyards across Geelong’s three sub-regions (as well as her hometown of Orange, NSW) while completing her CSU winemaking degree as Dux and with distinction. Having failed with her first business attempt (always a good life lesson) she now makes boutique wines that represent the Geelong region. Tash was a finalist in the 2020 Young guns of wine awards, and has experience judging in both regional, state, and national Wine shows.
My love of music and pop culture heavily influences the names of the labels. You’ll always find the speakers blaring in the winery when I’m working, or when at home cooking, gardening, or sitting by the fire pit. I’m a strong believer of letting the wines speak for themselves rather than forcing a style that screams me, so I’m minimal intervention as much as possible.
As a highly introverted person by nature, I’d much rather hang out with my cats than be out talking up the wines so thanks for dropping by and joining the Empire!
