Hello everyone,
It’s been a while since our last post and what a journey it has been! We’ve had a phenomenal vintage and harvest period. Although it was a good and smooth season, it’s great to now uncoil ourselves from the harvest hype and return to our normal routine.
The season was nothing short of spectacular, showing some of the best fruit we’ve ever seen. We are excited to see how our wines will evolve over the coming year in the winery.
On our closed days I’ve been fortunate to have the opportunity to continue making deliveries within our south west every week. To all our amazing customers who stop by to support small businesses like ours thank you. we always have the most incredible times together; we always say it’s the highlight of what we do.
As the weather cools down and the Easter holidays approach, we can’t wait to share this special time with you.
Our opening hours over Easter are:
Good Friday: CLOSED
Saturday, 4th: OPEN 11-4
Easter Sunday: CLOSED
Easter Monday: OPEN 11-4
As always, we warmly welcome you to our cellar door, where we can’t wait to share our passion and inspiration with you.

Yesterday, we were delighted to be hosted by Steeve Lindecker, General Manager of Restaurants at Crown Perth, and Dave, one of the head Sommelier’s at Crown and former South West local. Following a recent cellar door visit to Barrecas, a colleague delivered a selection of our bottles to Steeve, prompting Crown to request a private tasting of our range with Fil, an incredible opportunity for us to share our passion. Many of you may be aware of the construction of Gladstones at Crown, and the inspiration and history behind it. We are overjoyed that our Nebbiolo and Barbera have been added to their wine list.

We're stoked the Young Guns of Wine have given our Barbera a thumbs up. To our awesome customers and friends who've loved this epic wine with us for 30 years, thank you no end for being part of the wild ride
Nice work Fil ♥️

The northern Italian grape variety barbera has been a resident of this country since the 1960s, arriving here via a detour in California. A serious attempt to get some traction in the 1970s by a fabled Italian winemaker didn’t quite get the kettle boiling, but some steady growth at the end of the ...

A few weeks ago I had a really interesting couple visit through our tasting room,
Mohamed and Farzaneh.

Mohamed and Farzaneh are from Shiraz in Iran. I was so excited to meet them and ask as many questions as I possibly could, and they gave me a wonderful history lesson which included beautiful personal anecdotes.
Over the years I’ve heard a lot of great stories about wine, about nostalgia, about how people drink and enjoy their wine, I’ve spoken to wine sommeliers, makers, producers, even priests who want wine for their communion, people who want wine for parties and for weddings but what I heard from Farzaneh was entirely different to anything I had ever heard before.
I’ve heard about wine being used for celebrations before but I’ve never heard anyone speak about it like this.

In pre- revolutionary Iran Farzaneh shared with me that her father along with some other close friends made wine in Shiraz in Iran (out of Shiraz grapes.) this was entirely legal at this time.
She explained to me that this was usually made to celebrate a persons 21st birthday, local weddings and other traditional celebrations. her father made the wine for their family and friends, within their community.

Farzaneh tells me that from the 1979 revolution and onwards they shut down wineries, ripped up commercial vineyards and consigned a culture stretching back thousands of years to history. So this is when people like her father would secretly make wine at night time and hide it under their houses, in dug out cellars. They then had wine to celebrate their special occasions covertly, but this was an extremely high risk activity.
drinking alcohol was and still is totally illegal in Iran.

So much about this is sad but I love the human spirit so much, to be so brave and to make something and risk something in order to share an experience and celebrate with those you love. Obviously a risk they felt was entirely worth taking and certainly one that I take for granted.

I’ve attached a link to a great BBC
write up for those who may be interested, some great details about wine history in shiraz, Iran.
