A special thank you to my daughter, Sonsire, who has been helping me this year. She has taken a huge weight off my shoulders.

I’ve only just started to re enter wine shows after the chaos of Covid but I did enter theMelbourne International Wine Showand receivedDouble Gold for the 2020 Reserve ChardonnayandGold for the 2019 Satyr. I’ll let you know when they are released.

Currently in the winery we are blending all the 2021 Reds and bottling as fast as our legs can run. It is such a joy (and a headache) to have our own bottling line....

THE FUTURE....Very shortly I’ll be bottling a Fortified Shiraz (formerly known as Port). I am very, very happy with this one and looking forward to the remaining barrels maturing.
