Very Small family vineyard located on the edge of the Barossa Valley. Sell most of my grapes to a commercial winery. Lots of work for little return. A wine grape glut here is really hurting the small grape grower.

Very nice! The 7 acres being very small comment made me chuckle!

Different parts of the world, but we have about the same acreage. I enjoy seeing that you have Grenache. I'd like to add a small block, say 50-100 vines here, of head-pruned Grenache for family consumption only. Rhone varieties
do well in our heat and soil type and Grenache is a heavy bearer. Also it's a good variety for making a dry Rose which we like in our household.
