Deetswood Wines

Deanne Eaton and Tim Condrick established their micro-vineyard in 1996, planting semillon, chardonnay, pinot noir, shiraz, merlot, viognier and cabernet sauvignon. At the end of the 19th century, German immigrant Joe Nicoll planted vines here and made wines for family use, and there is still one vine surviving from those original plantings. The wines are normally consistent both in quality and style, offering further proof that this is a very interesting area. -JAMES HALLIDAY
