Passing Clouds

Graeme Leith and son Cameron undertook a monumental change when they moved the entire operation that started way back in ’74 in Bendigo to its new location at Musk, near Daylesford. The vines at Bendigo had been disabled by ongoing drought and all manner of
pestilence, and it was no longer feasible to continue the business there. However, they still have a foot in the Bendigo region courtesy of their friends, the Adams at Rheola. Graeme has now left the winemaking in the hands of Cameron, instead using his formidable skills as a writer. In ’18, a dedicated train stop was established at the Passing Clouds cellar door. -JAMES HALLIDAY
