James' Review
David and Diana Palmer have fully capitalised on the exceptional fruit quality of the Skillogalee vineyards. All the wines are generous and full-flavoured, particularly the reds. In 2002 the Palmers purchased next-door neighbour Waninga Vineyards, with 30ha of 30-year- old vines, allowing an increase in production without any change in quality or style. Exports to the UK, Switzerland, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Singapore.
