From Vineyard to Bottle to Glass

Published: 27/02/2008

We are soon to celebrate our one year anniversary with Thomas Vineyard Estate, and just can’t keep up with their success. Given that the new release 2005 is only their second vintage, they are doing great things!

Dawne & Merv Thomas’ profile reflects several of our boutique wineries: working several jobs, actively involved in the viticulture, wearing many hats and despite this producing sensational wine vintage after vintage.

We have listed below the recent accolades and can only hope they don’t change a thing.
