Our Review
This is the venture of Helen Xu, who purchased the large Fernando Vineyard on Spring Lane in '10. It is planted to pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, chardonnay, pinot gris, shiraz and sauvignon blanc. Helen’s background is quite varied. She has a master's degree in analytical chemistry and was a QA manager for Nestlé for several years. She now owns a business in Shanghai, working with textile ink development together with husband Joey. They currently split their time between China and Australia. -JAMES HALLIDAY
