Taking Time Out From A Stressful Life

Tuesday 21st October, 2008


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...

The Lads In Lederhosen

Saturday 19th October, 2008


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.

Hanisch Retrospective

Tuesday 19th August, 2008

After a pleasant stroll from where I was staying on a sunny Sydney day I arrived at the Flying Fish Restaurant and Bar on Jones Bay Wharf at Pyrmont to help Tim Stock, my NSW distributor, set up what will be an exciting event for me.

Racking the Reds

Thursday 31st July, 2008


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...
