John Younie (Jay) Tulloch (JYT) 1944
In 1965 Hector Tulloch passed away and in 1969 J.Y. Tulloch
& Sons P/L was sold outside of the family for the first time.
In 1973 Jay Tulloch became General Manager where he remained until
he tired of life in a large multinational company and retired from
Southcorp and started the JYT Wine Company in 1997 with his
wife. In 2001 the opportunity arose to buy back the old
family company, J.Y. Tulloch & Sons P/L and unable to resist
and with interest from long term business associates, the new era
of J.Y. Tulloch & Sons began, with Jay once again at its
helm.
A respected member of the Australian wine industry, Jay Tulloch
has continued his families' proud tradition of viticulture and has
contributed enormously to the shaping of the Hunter region along
the way. He was inducted as a Hunter Valley Living Legend in
2009.
