Grapes fermenting in the waxed cement vats at the old winery on Langmeil
Road. The regular pattern is caused by heading down boards that we used
to keep the grape cap below bubbling juice. Now we use pump overs.
Picture taken in the late 1970's. We made some outstanding wines under
these primitive conditions. |

After Round 10 |
|
|
The points are close at the top end, and the Tip-Stars are juggling themselves between all positions - all below Rolf, that is. As our Beloved Lizard, he is, morally, not allowed to win, but he always puts on a good lunch when he does, so no-one is complaining!
The traditional winners are letting us all down, and with more double points rounds coming up, it might be worth tipping the underdog to knock the top dog off his spot. Still, it's only a game! |

"My wife and I were on our way to the Northern Territory where I was to work. We drove through the Barossa on our long journey there, and popped into the old shed of Veritas Winery after a long day of wine tasting around the place. This was in 1987. We met Rolf Senior who was a lovely, gentle chap, and we spent quite a few hours just chatting about nothing and everything, and tasting some very good wines. A couple of gents from Sydney came in at one stage showing off their knowledge of everything there was to know about wine. Rolf just brushed them off in the nicest possible way, so they left, and we kept on drinking and whiling away the hours, talking about nothing and everything.
When we left Rolf gave us the little old-fashioned wine glasses from which we were tasting, and we still have them in our crystal cabinet at home."
