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.
