Our Review
Karin Adcock is a Danish-born and -educated entrepreneur with the gift of making the difficult seem easy. Scandinavian design of things large or small, utilitarian or simply decorative gave her a head start in Australia. In '16 she purchased what was then Poole's Rock, assembling teams of experts to rejuvenate the 11ha vineyard and embark on a long-term program for the whole property. The property has expanded since and is complemented by artworks, antiques and artefacts, notably sculptures, collected by Adcock from around the world. Buildings on the property have also been converted into residences large and small for tourists who stay overnight. Needless to say, Winmark's wine is part and parcel of the business. Consultant John Belsham, a New Zealander, has an impeccable track record of 35 years of experience with a focus on chardonnay and dealing with the uncertainties of working in a climate that can change for the worse in a matter of hours. -JAMES HALLIDAY
