This wine started with living life a little out of the ordinary.

Home was an off grid mountain cabin overlooking the cosy village of Meander - aptly named for the twisty path through life that landed me there.

I was privileged to inhabit hundreds of acres of wilderness perched sidesaddle on Quamby Bluff / lartitickitheker.

Meander, and the Meander Valley, is captivating. A gorgeous pastoral landscape of rolling green hills at the foothills of the gnarly Great Western Tiers, a mountain range renowned as the short walks capital of Australia. Visit at your peril; you’ll fall in love.

Community feels different here. It’s your own cup at the local cafe. A hug from the postmaster along with your mail. Neighbours more like family. Everyone pitching in.

The wines I’ve made for you are a love letter to this special place, and to all my people (near and far) who made it possible for me to live this charmed life.

Seasons have changed and so has my geography and the shape of my heart and my family - but Meander stays with me everywhere I go.

Here’s to me, to her, to him, and to you.

Drink it in.
