Beechworth Photo Essay
What feels like a long time ago, pre-Covid, Winefront partner Mike Bennie and I spent a single day together in the Beechworth region. This is a photo essay from that visit. It’s not complete because tasting wine with a notebook and camera in hand isn’t easy; some of the time I put the camera down and concentrated on tasting (apologies to Traviarti etc). It was just one afternoon/evening so we could only visit a limited number of vineyards and producers. We didn’t visit Giaconda or Savaterre, for instance, among many others. But we did visit Schmolzer and Brown, Sorrenberg and Castagna. The reason I’m posting these pictures, apart from wine-region-homesickness, is that I think/hope they give an insight into the landscape of Beechworth, its soils, its hills, its rocks, its climate, its structures, its people.
