While in the Tasting Room I met two very lovely people from Townsville - Julie Carr & John Preston. John had just recently left the air force after serving in Kuwait and many other very interesting (although unsafe) destinations across the world. A very stressful job on a good day. So while contemplating their future John & Julie decide to have a holiday (with no children) and visit the very beautiful Barossa Valley. more...

We get a lot of groups coming through the Barossa Valley, many of them to celebrate birthdays or anniversaries, or other events. Today we had a visit from six Lederhosen-ed Lads celebrating their friend Jan's bucks party. From left to right we have Anthony, Stephen, Ben, Joseph and Jan, with Reinhard sitting in front. And they haven't come from far-off nineteenth century Germany, but hour away Adelaide. more...

I have done this line up of wines many times with journalists, the last being Harvey Steiman of American Wine Spectator fame. more...

One of the great joys of travelling and working in foreign markets is that you get to know some people really well. Glen Mendez is one such person and I thought from the stories he tells I would ask him about his life in wine ……. more...

Winter is a great time of the year while the vines are dormant and we are busy pruning to ensure the grapes for the next harvest. The fields this year have a lush rich green colour as the rains so far have been good and our valuable cover crops in the vineyards are growing well. These crops will be slashed to provide mulch for beneath the vines, as well as being incorporated into the soil to provide organic matter. more...
