For many years the family searched for the perfect vineyard to create wines their forebears would be proud of today. They wanted a place that was relatively isolated so they could realise their goal of viticulture and wine making along biodynamic and organic practices. They love the idea of maintaining tradition, but with a modern twist! They first discovered the vineyard in 2008 and instantly knew it was exceptional, but it wasn't to be at that time and they missed out. The family focused on enjoying those first crucial years with their two gorgeous boys and kept searching for another place that would compare, but it didn't seem to exist. In 2011 fate stepped in again, gave them another opportunity, and here they are today.
