Brookford

A contemporary pair of Australian wines from the Riverina region in New South Wales. Big River country, where the drip irrigated vineyards of the Riverina are planted, is crisscrossed with brooks and streams. These are easily crossed as they rarely run very deep, even in winter and are often dry during the summer. The wines are made by talented winemaker Sam Trimboli and show excellent body, upfront fruit and well defined structure.

Winemaking has been Sam Trimboli’s passion for nearly 20 years. He joined the winery in 1983 as a Cellar Hand, and worked his way up through the ranks of Cellar Master, Production Manager and Winemaker.

In 1995 he was appointed Chief Winemaker and now directs the activities of three winemakers.

Sam has enjoyed tremendous success in wine shows, winning 28 medals in international wine shows and nearly 400 trophies, Top 100 awards and medals in Australian shows between 1998 and 2000.

His success is largely due the changes he has wrought both in the vineyard and in the winery, including greater control over grape production, the introduction of new technology in the winery, changes to production techniques and the introduction of new grape varieties, blends and styles.
