Botobolar

One of the first organic vineyards in Australia, with present owner Kevin Karstrom continuing the practices established by founder (the late) Gil Wahlquist. Preservative-free reds and low-preservative dry whites extend the organic practice of the vineyard to the winery. Shiraz produces the best wines to appear under the Botobolar label. A solar generator was installed on the hill behind the winery in its first step towards lowering its carbon footprint. -JAMES HALLIDAY
