IN THE WINERY
The Natural Contours Of the Winery

Thursday 21st February, 2008


This photo shows the bottom of a wine tank after the wine has been "racked off". This sediment is what is left.

It is a mixture of settled tartrates, dead yeast cells, and bentonite (a natural fining agent that is used to stabilise the wine).

The wine had been in the tank for about nine months, giving the sediment time to settle naturally into this amazing pattern. more...

Tour Down Under Visits the Barossa

Thursday 21st February, 2008


The Tour Down Under is a major event in World Cycling after being granted UCI ProTour status. This is the first cycling race outside of Europe to be given this ranking.

South Australia hosts the Tour Down Under and we see hundreds of thousands of visitors, both national and international, to the state.

A New Crew

Monday 21st January, 2008


Just prior to Christmas, our long-serving winemaker, Kym Teusner, left the fold of Veritas Winery, to expand his own thriving business, Teusner Wines.

So, we have employed Adam Barton to replace Kym as Head Winemaker's role, and Harry Mantzarapis, as Assistant Winemaker.

They will join Rolf, Christa and Ashley, our Cellar Hand, in the winery just in time for vintage. more...


AT THE CELLAR DOOR
Bikaver Fans from Hungary

Wednesday, 30th January, 2008


We were visited in our Tasting Room today by a group of Hungarian gents. Zsolt (kneeling at the front) came to settle in Brisbane in 1988. His friends (from left) are Feri, Zoltan, Pali and Peter. Rolf is in the middle in the dark blue shirt. They were impressed with the Hungarian heritage of the Binder family, and had their photo taken in front of the portrait of Rolf Senior, which takes pride of place in our Tasting Room. They were also impressed with the Bulls Blood, the Australian version of the Hungarian Bikaver.

THE VINEYARD
Grafting Mataro

Monday, 28th January, 2008

The vines in the vineyard were pruned and trellised in November (Spring), and their long shoots needed to be trained along the trellis. This was a vigorous growing time for the vines, and leading up to this vintage, we saw some of them already producing the small bunches of inflorescences (flowers) that will eventually become fruit.

Spring is also a good time for grafting new varieties onto old rootstock. more...
