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.
