Norman and Elizabeth Jones have planted vines on a property with an extraordinarily rich history, which is commemorated in the name Dunn’s Paddock Shiraz. Samuel Knowles was a convict who arrived in Van Diemen’s Land in 1838. He endured continuous punishment before fleeing to SA in 1846 and changing his name to Dunn. When, at the end of 1851, he married 18-year-old Mary Therese Taaffe in Adelaide, they walked from Adelaide to Amherst pushing a wheelbarrow carrying their belongings, arriving just before gold was discovered. The lease title of the property shows that Amherst Winery is sited on land once owned by Samuel Dunn. Exports to China.
