Thread: Last Defenders made when?

I haven't mentioned the name yet....better make sure I follow protocol and take out the right membership before going down that path. Once our new website and '09 Barossa Valley Shiraz is launched I'll let everyone know about it. Perhaps an AULRO mates rate can be setup. I'll be in touch with anyone who wants me to PM them about it shortly too. I still need to book bottling dates and to be honest get a lot of work done in a short amount of time before I can offer it out properly.

Not quite Henschke, we're a fair bit smaller and less known but equally serious about quality. Their Lenswood vineyard is close to ours and I went to college with Johann, great fella.

You know your comment about the RR Chardonnay got me thinking. Our Chardonnay vineyard is in the Piccadilly Valley, specifically at Basket Range........see where I'm heading with this one?

Yesterday a mate of mine who knows I love Defenders called me up to say he was test driving the local dealer's 90 series. We took it for a blast and what a cracker, it's actually quite quick for a car with only 90KW. Not practical enough for me but still fantastic. He's got a 2 year old Navara with the 170KW V6 diesel and is likely to trade it in after that test drive.

Going Deaf,....all good mate.
If you've got a good red on the go, the word will soon get around, BUT, if it ain't so good, the word will also "get around".
Count me in for a case.

I'll do a case of that Shiraz. PM me when you're ready for more details. You will love the 110, as a farm vehicle you may be better off with a 130 just for the additional payload and tray. I have a 110 wagon with 300 tdi, not a speed daemon but great fun to get out in.
