Wine Maker Notes: After finishing Roseworthy in 1998, Dan Crane started his winemaking career in earnest, wo
rking first in the upper Hunter, and then in the Yarra Valley. A winemaking Englishman is a rare thing, but he feels right at home in the castle at All Saints Estate. Dan is the winemaker not only for All Saints Estate but also for the neighbouring property St Leonards Vineyard that Peter Brown and his family also own. As a winemaker Dan is excited abo
ut the possibilities that All Saints Estate and St Leonards have to offer. Both properties have different styles allowing Dan to become creative whilst achieving a high quality across all the wines.

The castle was built in 1880's. By the turn of the century, All Saints Estate became the largest wine storage facility in the southern hemisphere, and is now an icon of Victoria's history. The Great Hall, the main wine storage hall, is lined with huge, 100 year old oak casks, which are filled with rare Tokays and Muscats. Some of the fortifieds are up to 80 years old, these form the basis of future blends. The wines are amongst Australia's and the world's greatest, internationally extolled for their richness and "lusciousness". All Saints Estate won the first gold medal for Australian wine in 1873 at the London International Exhibition. |
