The Osicka family arrived from Czechoslovakia in the early 1950’s. Vignerons in their own country, their vineyard in Australia was the first new venture in central & Southern Victoria for half a century. With the return of Simon Osicka to the family business, there have been substantial changes. Simon held senior winemaking positions at Houghtons, Leasingham, & Hardys, interleaved with vintages in Italy, Canada, Germany & France including the prestigious Domaine Jean Louis Chave for the ’10 vintage. The fermentation of the red wines has been changed from static to open fermenters and French oak has replaced American. 2020 Marks the 65Th anniversary of the planting of the vineyard. Extensive re-trellising of the estate plantings is now complete. Installation of a conveyor belt enables 100% berry sorting and eliminates pumping.
