July 2008

Welcome to our website.

This website has been operating with various degrees of success over the last few years. Within the site we endeavour to keep the content current. Available within the site are some basic maps, tasting notes and information about any approaching events.

July 2008 means we have been operating for almost 4 years and we are now approaching our 4th release in October. As with any new business, things have changed rapidly during this period of time. From the first vintage where I made about 1800 cases of wine, we are now approaching 5000 cases with the 2008 vintage. This quantity of production is now what we consider optimum when considering the future.

Eighteen months ago, Tony Fikkers joined the team as Assistant Winemaker and a couple of months ago we were further buoyed when Viticulturalist Dylan Grigg came on board as well. Being able to attract these highly energized and skilled individuals has filled me with excitement and anticipation at the prospect of what we can achieve with fruit and wine quality over the next few years.

Please continue to check the site for updates on new wines and any new events that may be forthcoming. Over the next couple of months we also hope to start a blog page with tit bits of information from experiences both here and overseas as well as including some basic video footage showing parts of the winemaking process such as pruning and certain aspects of vintage.

Finally, if you can’t find what you are looking for, please drop me an email.

In the meantime, I hope that those of us close to Melbourne get to enjoy a wet winter.
