Alicia Basa + Mark Warner | Borachio

About the Winemakers

Borachio is the work of Alicia Basa and Mark Warner, two wildly creative, fiercely thoughtful makers who never planned on making wine in the first place. They met at a hardcore show in Sydney in 2003, married at the NYC courthouse in 2014 “drinking porróns of Ploussard” (naturally), and followed their shared curiosity for provenance from farmers’ markets to their first harvest with James Erskine (Jauma). That curiosity carried them through the Loire, Arbois, and Catalonia before returning home to work alongside the late Taras Ochota, who pushed them toward precision and experimentation. By 2016, they were making their own wines: organic, handpicked, additive-free. Today, they’re anchored in Maslin Sand on the western edge of Blewitt Springs, crafting salty, vibrant, slightly anarchic wines from Grenache, Chenin, Savagnin, and Sciacarello to their very own vermouth. Their labels, native flora for single varietals & native fauna acting out Aussie idioms for blends, capture the same irreverence and joy as the wines themselves.
