We are pleased to announce that the inaugural winner of the Treeton Estate quarterly wine draw is Rod Hawkins of Rivervale, WA.
Rod selected a mixed case of the 2007 Shiraz and 2009 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon as his prize. When asked why he signed up to the Treeton Estate email list, Rod said:
I’ve been trekking down to the Margaret River Wine Region for years and have made a point of looking for the slightly out of the way places and smaller wineries rather than the big ‘commercial’ wineries. I’m definitely not a wine connoisseur, just an average person who knows what he likes in wines. My favourites are SSBs, Shiraz and Cab Savs hence the choice from your range.
My first taste of Treeton Estate wines was way back in the early ‘90s on a trip to Molloy Island with friends. We turned off the beaten track and found this little winery with a dog that performed tricks and a very friendly bunch of people who insisted we try their wines. I’ve been buying Treeton Wines ever since (not regularly mind you, but pretty well every time I get to Margaret River). I think it’s probably the personal touch that makes the wines so good as opposed to the mass-produced feel of the bigger wineries.
Thank you Rod for such a great story.
We look forward to pulling another winner from our email list in three months time.
