Across the Lake

The Taylor family has been farming (wheat and sheep) for over 40 years at Lake Grace;a small diversification into grapegrowing started as a hobby, but developed into more than that with 2ha of shiraz. They were motivated to support their friend Bill (WJ)Walker,who had started growing shiraz three years previously, and produced a gold medal-winning wine. Derek and Kristie Stanton have purchased the business. -JAMES HALLIDAY
