What's happening in the Vineyard
It is the end of vintage at last! It has been a very good and abundant year here and our vineyard is well and happy. This vintage we are producing some extra liqueur wines - including a rare and gorgeous Liqueur Verdelho, a Liqueur Pedro Ximenez, and a Liqueur Shiraz. Last year we won a gold medal for our Liqueur Shiraz at the Swan Valley Show. Come out for a taste! Also we are making more of our lovely Rose Muscat (Moscato style table wine) which sold out last year.
Electrician with PLC experience required.
Our 1980s grape press has come to the end of its life, well its brain has, Duncan has a new Siemens LOGO PLC ready to install in it, however some electrical advice over a glass of wine would be most welcome.
Free Book Exchange Come in and help yourself to a free book - we have some great titles such as Magic Realism with Gabriel Garcia Marquez, or you could try some realism of the social kind with Jane Austen or scientific realism with Tim Flannery! Books are always welcome for recycling too if you are culling your collection!
