Making Cider

September 04 2015 Food wise

"The excitement of making our cider actually reminds me of my plan 40 years ago when we first came to the Barossa. I’m sure many of you know that it was Colin’s vision to farm pheasants that led us to leave Sydney, my original hometown, to come to South Australia and buying an existing vineyard (after several hickups of course) the Barossa found us and we began farming the pheasants which led to our whole food journey. However, it was only while making cider, when I was checking on the final ferment that I admitted that my original plan had been to study Oenology at Roseworthy College when we came to South Australia. The fact that I’d left school at 14, the fact that any physics and chemistry I had studied up to then was totally inadequate for winemaking meant that it actually never happened, and the luck of my life was that I found what I wanted to do more than anything else purely out of necessity, given we were farming pheasants and no one knew how to cook them and it was second nature to me. The rest is history." - Maggie Read the rest...
