Swish Wine News

A while ago we told you that we were building a new winery ready for the 2011 vintage ... well, the project is coming on in leaps and bounds. The shed itself is now finished, and overlooking the Tin Soldier vineyard and olive grove down to the dam, our new winery will have one of the nicest views in the valley, even if we do say so ourselves. It couldn't in fact be any closer to our vineyards so, next vintage when the fruit is picked, we can crush it within minutes, capturing all of the zesty, fabulous flavours that winemakers love! There might even be a bit of room for Matt to experiment with new and exciting wines ... Tin Soldier Tempranillo anyone?

But anyhow, enough of what we are going to do next year, you want to know what is happening now! Last week we finished the road from the front gate which now means the trucks have something to drive on and we can start installing all of Matt's shiny winemaking equipment; presses, fermenting vessels, tanks and of course all of our wine gently maturing in barrels.

We'll keep you posted on the developments as they happen.
