our story since 2006
2006: bought the 24-acre property in Southern Barossa and managed to save most of the 100-year old grapevines in the 6-acre vineyard: Grenache, Semillon, Muscat of Alexandria. We also planted new grape varieties: Mataro, Saperavi, Vermentino. It's forever a work in progress!
2011: started selling our wines - back when "natural wine" was a new concept to most winemakers and wine lovers. Our Tinto Rosso, Barrica Rose, Ambrato, and Witchcraft are loved for their elegance, purity, exceptional taste and genuine winemaking craftsmanship.
2017: a major event at Mill About Vineyard, the wedding of our younger daughter! In preparation, we landscaped the beautiful native bush hill above the vineyard, added ridges to stop rainwater run-off, created paths and seating, and planted native species to increase biodiversity and provide habitat for wildlife.
2019: two amazing life events - we became grandparents to sweet Matilda and Eleanor! Two precious girls who changed our world, gave us a new purpose, shifted our priorities, and brought about a new idea for Mill About Vineyard: a nature-based play garden. Life is now an adventure interstate travel, to watch them grow!
Jul 2022: another precious gift: Eleanor's little baby brother Bruce Stanislav was born! Such joy, to have a baby boy join our sweet grandchildren's team! Can't wait for all our treasures to visit us again at Mill About Vineyard!
2023: trialled an idea, and it worked! We now offer a campsite too, at Mill About Vineyard. It's for up to 3 self-contained campers. Book here.
What's next? Maybe a coffee shop? Host Adelaide Fringe events? Corporate Events' hosting? Travel the world? All of the above? Or just relax and observe nature with a glass of wine in hand ...
