George Francis,
Pioneer Vigneron Founder of Morris Wines Rutherglen, Victoria
Celebrating 150 years of Winemaking at Rutherglen Victoria
Rutherglen is the oldest continuous wine producing area in Australia, with the Morris family celebrating their 150th Anniversary this year.
When we approached David Morris he was honoured to have his great-grandfather’s name attached to the bear. David is the fifth generation vigneron in the Morris dynasty. Since 1993 he has won more awards than any other Australian winemaker.
In releasing George Francis we are also honouring all the winemakers of Rutherglen who produce some outstanding vintages every year. The area is well known for its fortifieds as well as wide range of other wines. As wine expert James Halliday has said, it is ‘one of the truly great wine tourism destinations.’
Lay-by is available over four months, and we would like all bears to be collected by November 30, 2009. Last’ year’s Special Edition sold out in just nine weeks and we expect a similar response this year.
