Description:
They decided to plant a vineyard in a place in Australia not yet universally recognized as a major viticultural area but one that Julian believed would be perfect for Syrah and would produce fruit that had the floral fragrance, aniseed and supple, complex subtleties of good Côte-Rôtie. Not a style that was in much evidence in Australia at that time. Julian also believed that Italian varieties had great potential in the same place, so Sangiovese was also a possibility.
They sold the house and the apartment in the city and moved into a caravan on the land: romantic for about five nights till the ants came to visit and the snakes came for a look-see. They built the winery and house out of straw-bale, learning everything on the job as they went along.
