|
When the del Rio family migrated to Australia from Spain, they brought with them a wealth of wine growing expertise. Gus and Esther del Rio and their three sons purchased the land in 1994. The first vines were planted in 1996 and are now at full production. The vineyard is located on the north-westerly aspect of Mt Anakie, 220 to 280 metres above sea level. The location offers stunning views for visitors, but also the rich volcanic to grey alluvial soil is just perfect for growing grapes. There are 35 acres of vines with seven different grape varieties; sauvignon blanc, marsanne, chardonnay, pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, and merlot. All the wine is bottled on site since the fully equipped winery was built in 2004. Between four and six thousand cases of wine are produced each year.

In our Spring issue out soon we take a peek at Dr Nazvanov’s new book Unborn Leaders where he focuses on travel of a different kind – an introspective journey. He believes that no-one is born a leader yet everyone can be taught, trained and tutored in the skills of leadership. The book is drawn from the author’s own very personal journey from Soviet era ‘rags’ to pre-GFC meltdown ‘riches’.
