After 15 years of working around the world in investment banking, the draw of the vine and wine was so great that Adelaide once again became home for Mark Kozned!
After looking at many regions to grow premium wine grapes, the high altitude cool climate region of the Adelaide Hills was chosen as the place to plant vines for Mark and his family in 2000.
Mark believes the Adelaide Hills offers the best of both worlds - cool sites for white wines with extended ripening periods - and warm slopes with cool nights which enable the production of elegant, ripe and moderate alcohol red wines.
Ten years on and four kids later, Mark and his family have expanded their operation to more than 140 acres of vines with production having grown from 500 dozen to now more than 30,000 dozen.
