Vintage 2011 is over - woohoo!

To celebrate the end, we had a big party at the local club with a great roast carvery. It was an opportunity to have fun dressing up in fancy dress bought from charity shops.

During the evening – we’re not sure how they managed it – but some regal-type people turned up. They must have been diverted from their honeymoon after hearing where the good life is bottled! We certainly believe we are in the best place around.




















Bonus Spiritus Solum was our vintage 2011 slogan – everything sounds good in Latin! We created this image which includes a silhouette of the tanks that face east to west at the winery. The geese in the bottom corner are symbols of the favourite pets of Pam and Jim Peace. They pretty much have free rein of the place! We used this image on the backs of hoodies which we gave to everyone who worked vintage as a memento of their time here.















Here is a photo of two Italian exchange students who did the vintage with us, Luca and Marzio, along with our Assistant Winemaker, Dave. We’re going to miss having them around the place.
