SOLDIER FARMS

 

These Old Vines are all that remains of the heritage that formed the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area at the turn of the 20th Century. Created to allow the resettlement of soldiers after the World Wars, the farms were sized at 20 acres and were traditionally planted to citrus, stone fruits, vegetables and grapes so that the harvest was diversified and more easily managed by the family unit. It is the careful selection of these small blocks of old vines that creates the magnificent depth of flavour for this outstanding wine.
