Trafford Hill Vineyard in Southern Fleurieu

On my way back from Kangaroo Island on Monday, April 5 (Easter Monday - which like Good Friday is a national Australian holiday) I was invited to stop by my Cisco work colleague Jim Higginson's holiday home near Normanville for lunch.

Jim's a wine maker himself and so knows the South Fleurieu wine region well. So Jim, his wife Gill and I checked out Trafford Hill Vineyard. The wine maker himself, John, poured for us. I enjoyed the rose, the cabernet sauvignon, the shiraz and the port.



Back at Jim and Gill's place I enjoyed the "Shed Shiraz" which is Jim's own wine - you guessed it - named because it was made in the shed. It was very tasty! Fruity and full bodied, a lovely shiraz.
