This month we get to know the co-owner and winemaker at Bent Road Winery in Queensland's Granite Belt.
What led you to winemaking? It was all about finding the right block of land.

In this case, I was the reluctant city slicker and my partner, Robert, was the enthusiastic dragger. But then we stumbled upon a breathtaking property — riverside frontage, a picturesque 30-megalitre weir, and prime Granite Belt grape-growing land.
