Art and Wine, Our Water Tank Updated & Modernised
An Original Design adorns our Cellar Door Water Tank, by Wendy Dixon Whiley
Art and Wine
This past week our residence artist, Wendy Dixon Whiley has been painting the Old Cement Water Tank at our Cellar Door. You might not have noticed it as a feature on prior visits, but we are sure you will this time. A wonderful addition to our landscape.
This piece will feature on our 2021 Rouge and Blanc’s, to be bottled later this year. These bottlings will continue the tradition set in prior releases.
