Hope you are enjoying some of the glorious ‘SPRUMMER’ weather that we are feasting on…. crisper cool mornings and evenings with beautiful balmy days in between. In fact, ideal weather to get out the Webber or fire up the barbecue. Whether it’s seafood, chicken, beef, lamb or ‘that other white meat’ pork OR char-grilled capsicum, eggplant, corn, tomatoes…. the variety is endless. Match your favourites up with one of ‘HILL OF PROMISE’ whites or reds.
Spring here @ HILL OF PROMISE means it’s time to KICK OFF THE SECONDARY FERMENTATION STAGE of our next 3 MARYS SPARKLING SEMILLON. Winemaker TERRANZO and the support team of ELISA AND VERONICA (from Italy) and ALEXANDRA (from France) bottled 1 050 yesterday. The yeast/wine concoction that was added to the base dry white wine starts a second round of fermentation, resulting in all those lovely CO2 bubbles produced being trapped inside the bottle like princesses in a tower! The bottles were handled like new born babies and carefully placed in crates, where they will spend at least the next 3 months before the next stage of the story begins. Stay tuned for progress reports! (Yes, I was involved as the general Cellar Rat doing jobs hither and thither and providing sustenance for the winemaker!)
Send Winter packing, roll out the Welcome mat for Spring.

Sunday’s ITALIAN LONG LUNCH IN THE WINERY on Sunday 1st May took me back to my grandfather’s house at the back of the ‘Valley Cafe’. I was an 11-year old boy again, seated at the long table…. starched white table cloth, delicious food, lively conversation.
Mary and I welcomed our guests in the traditional Italian way ( you will have to come to our next function to find out what that is!)
All in all, a totally wonderful way to celebrate my Sicilian heritage and the best of all things Italian with friends both old and new. Graze tutti! Alla prossima! TERRANCE
