Our
labels reflect the areas connection with early pastoral development in
western Victoria.
Our
red wine labels depict the Muntham Station,
home to pioneer Edward Henty, as painted by noted colonial artist
Thomas Clark. Born in England, Clark migrated to Australia and
travelled the countryside completing commissions by local graziers and
others. His paintings are regarded as accurate depictions of early
colonial landscapes.
Our
white wine labels feature another early pastoral scene at Wando Dale to
the west of Hamilton. Noted early colonial artist, William Tibbits, painted this scene. It depicts the Redgum landscape so typically identified with the
Western District.
We
are grateful to the Hamilton Art Gallery for permission to reproduce
these original works.
