One of the most important things that we do is to evaluate what we are doing in the vineyard. Wine is the perfect tool to assess how well the balance is being maintained. So far, the wine keeps improving so the general consensus is that we reckon we're on the right track. And at the end of the day, wine is made to be drunk with friends and family  and in good spirit. It is a much enjoyed drop around our our circle at home.

All set for the first Rusden Post-Vintage tasting back in 2001. We handle around 50 individual parcels each year.

Every year we conduct a tasting that involves neighbours and friends, for whom we make wine, sampling the past vintage. This helps to develop awareness and foster communication among the people in our district.
