The Tour Down Under is a major event in World Cycling after being granted UCI ProTour status. This is the first cycling race outside of Europe to be given this ranking.
South Australia hosts the Tour Down Under and we see hundreds of thousands of visitors, both national and international, to the state.
With a leg of the race held in the Barossa Valley, we had many visitors to our winery, and saw the race pass by our front sign.

We were visited in our Tasting Room today by a group of Hungarian gents. Zsolt (kneeling at the front) came to settle in Brisbane in 1988. His friends (from left) are Feri, Zoltan, Pali and Peter. Rolf is in the middle in the dark blue shirt. They were impressed with the Hungarian heritage of the Binder family, and had their photo taken in front of the portrait of Rolf Senior, which takes pride of place in our Tasting Room. They were also impressed with the Bulls Blood, the Australian version of the Hungarian Bikaver.
The vines in the vineyard were pruned and trellised in November (Spring), and their long shoots needed to be trained along the trellis. This was a vigorous growing time for the vines, and leading up to this vintage, we saw some of them already producing the small bunches of inflorescences (flowers) that will eventually become fruit.
Spring is also a good time for grafting new varieties onto old rootstock.
