Pat Carmody planted his first vines here in 1976, on a site where James Stewart Johnston had grown Shiraz a century earlier — a 1872 vintage of which won international awards and, when opened at a Melbourne dinner in 1972, convinced Carmody to replant. The bluestone winery Johnston built into the hillside still stands. Shiraz remains the calling card, ranked Excellent on Langton's Classification.
