The Kirche

The Official Opeing of The Kirche

The Kirche, our new vineyard accommodation in the original Krondorf Village church, was officially opened on Saturday afternoon. 

We chose Sat 12th Sept as the opening date as it was the 145 year anniversary to the day of the first foundation stone of the church being laid.

We had a wonderful turnout & everyone had a fantastic time.

A special thank you to "Miss Maggies" www.missmaggies.com.au who did such a great job of presenting the flowers.

We look forward to hosting our friends in The Kirche in the weeks, months and years to come... (see The Kirche section on this website for details and photos).

Winter has hit

Best rainfall in 18 years

The Barossa is looking lovely lush and green for the first time in a long while. Creeks that are usually dry are flowing and full of life with ducks and birds.

We are for the first time ahead of our average rainfall in 18 years and the vines are soaking up every drop! Not very good for James, Pete and Coralie who are out there pruning!!

Well, things seem to be moving along very quickly and the first shed is up and the second one not far off.

Completion of both buildings seems to be on schedule and we should be moving in by the end of winter 2009.

Earthworks began on Tuesday 10th of March to level out the area on which our new winery and dry goods/barrel shed will go.

A massive 6000 tonnes of earth was needed to be moved to level the area for the foundation to be laid.

Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks.

Every year we hold a dinner at the winery during vintage, called our "Vintage Dinner". This year we decided to have a FEAST instead...and that it was!!

A BIG thank you to Owen Andrews and his crew for providing fabulous food, and a special thank you to our wonderful customers who made the journey to the winery...some from as far as Queensland!

Keep an eye out for your email invite in January 2010.
