Peta Baverstock has spent two decades focusing on the appreciation, making and branding of Sparkling Wine. Graduating in oenology in 2000 from Adelaide University, Baverstock quickly began to focus on sparkling wine. After a vintage at Le Crema in the Sonoma Valley, California, she worked at the Yarra Valley’s Domaine Chandon for two years. From 2003–10, she was on the sparkling wine team at BRL Hardy (now Accolade Wines) under Ed Carr – Australia’s most revered master of the sparkling arts.

A scholarship to work with Bollinger was awarded in 2005 and led to Baverstock pursuing the Vin de Champagne Award, being the only South Australian finalist in the Professional section of the 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2016 Awards.

Together with her viticulturist sister, Claire, they now grow grapes for many iconic Australian wine brands as well as produce and market their own wine brand, Eight at the Gate Wines – named after the morning ritual of assembling their 8 children "at the gate" in time for the school bus. Jane handles all Global Sales and Marketing activities for Eight at the Gate Wines.
