The Wine Farm is where we grow the wine we want to drink and
the food we want to eat. It's where our kids get muddy, our dog
can howl without upsetting the neighbours and we can breathe.
Vintage 2020
We’ve been a little quiet of late. There’s been a bit going on. Or rather, with so many curve balls thrown at us these last six months, we’ve needed to take some time to process it all.
Every year, when the last crop of grapes has been picked, pressed, nurtured through fermentation and finally popped into the cellar to work its magic, we like to pause and look back over the vintage that was, noting any significant events for future reference. It’s almost hard to know where to start with vintage 2020. The sixth on our farm and, while no two vintages have been the same, this one was right off the charts. We thought you might be interested to read our vintage notes from what was a wacky ride in the world of wine.

Great wine is the sum of hundreds of decisions from vineyard to bottle. As the ‘maker’ all I do is try to make the best decision I can at any particular point in time.

In 2014, having fallen for the region in general and the potential of its grapes in particular, we took the biggest plunge so far. We poured our joint worldly effects into a small patch of dirt down the road. An unassuming address we thought might just have everything we needed to start creating our own little world. Good soil, eight thousand vines, a great big shed and lots of bedrooms to fill.
