Hi Everyone
We have had a very successful month at the wine shows. In particular, the Geelong Wine Show, which is our most important Regional Show. Our Brown Magpie Shiraz 2010 won the The Williams and Jackson Trophy for Best Wine in Show. The Brown Magpie Shiraz 2010 also won the NZ Kauri Trophy for Best Shiraz - category 7
We also won silver medals for our 2010 Brown Magpie Late Harvest Pinot Gris, 2010 Brown Magpie Pinot Noir, 2011 Brown Magpie Pinot Grigio and 2008 Modewarre Mud Shiraz. We won a Bronze for our 2011 Rose. Well done Chris Sargeant and the rest of the team.
We are busy in the vineyard. Robert and Tim are mowing. You can see the weeds growing at the moment. They are also putting the wires up. This holds the canes in place and not only prevents the canes from breaking in the wind, but also keeps the canes from touching the ground and allows the air to circulate through the vine, which helps to prevent downy mildew.
Thank you everyone who visited us on the Toast to the Coast Weekend. We had a lovely two days, drinking wine, savouring the pizzas and listening to music. It was lovely to catch up with our old customers and get aquainted with some of our new ones.
We will open everyday in December and January, except Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
Cheers
Loretta Breheny
