Our new Estate label

A fresh new look

We have been busy these past few months revamping our packaging, with the aim to present our cool-climate wines in a more contemporary way. So we are now proud to welcome in the New Year with a fresh new look.

It's a contemporary take on our almost two decade old family owned brand. The design was inspired by our cellar door entrance wall that was created by Ann and Tanya after participating in a few mosaic art classes.

Kim Gourlay Photographic Exhibition

1st and 3rd weekend in February 2014

Kim Gourlay is a local photographer who began taking photographs with her father around the age of 10 years old. Originally from the United States, Kim immigrated to Australia over 20 years ago and has made the Yass region her home for the last 4 years.

Recently Kim's focus has been on macro (or close up) photography of local plants, flowers and insects. The combination of colours and textures in the plant life is what draws her into the small world of macro photography. Kim will be exhibiting in the Shaw Vineyard Estate Shearing Shed Gallery over six days, entry is free and you will have the opportunity to purchase her work.

Come and see Kim's beautiful compositions and be drawn into the world of small things!
