Well it's been a busy year so far! The Cellar and Tasting room was officially opened in January and the 2009 harvest is done.
Thanks
to all the Luddite Lovers for arriving at the crack of dawn with their
secateurs ready to pick. The crop was larger this year so we had to
resort to a bit of child labour too, and invited the kid's classmates
to the farm under the auspices of an "outing".
2009 Harvesters after lunch.
Great
news is that we've received 4 stars in the March 2008 UK Decanter Mag's
99 Top Syrahs. Hoorah! And perhaps even greater news is that we've
discovered Alice to be a very competent driver - she's zooting around
the farm doing a whole lot of chores only Mum and Dad could do before!
We've
been getting ready for winter over the last 10 days - stocking up on
food for the piggies, doing some more alien clearing for firewood and
hauling out the winter woolies.
Are you prepared? Have you got enough Luddite Shiraz to see you
through? Be sure to contact us pronto if you don't -
because winter won't be the same without it!
If
you'd like to come to a Luddite wine dinner book at Myoga, Vineyard

haven't visited our new tasting room and cellar!!! If you can't get
