Steve and Cecilia Schubert are primarily grapegrowers, with 12 ha of shiraz and 2 ha of viognier. They purchased the 25-ha property in 1986, when it was in such a derelict state that there was no point trying to save the old vines. Both were working in other areas, so it was some years before they began replanting, at a little under 2 ha per year. Almost all the production is sold to Torbreck. In 2000 they decided to keep enough grapes to make a barrique of wine for their own (and friends’) consumption. They were sufficiently encouraged by the outcome to venture into the dizzy heights of two hogsheads a year (since increased to four or so). The wine is made with wild yeast, open fermentation, basket-pressing and bottling without filtration. Exports to the UK, the US, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong and China.
