Tamburlaine Organic Wines has added to its holdings, purchasing the former Cumulus winery facility in the Orange wine region.
The purchase of the Cudal facility by Tamberlaine comes just in time to process its first 2020 vintage fruit.
Tamburlaine Managing Director and Winemaker Mark Davidson said: “The Cudal winery was originally purpose-built two decades ago to support a major expansion of the region’s wine production while offering extra services to local vignerons and winemakers.
“Last year it was standing idle with the prospect of permanent closure. All the facility required were some critical upgrades, improvement of its capacity to manage premium parcels of fruit and the winemaking team.
“Aaron Mercer is now Group Senior Winemaker. Site Winemaker, Monica Gray, has been appointed and is backed by a very experienced Cellar and Lab Team.”
Tamburlaine’s interest in the Orange Wine Region began in the late 1980’s. Mark outlined the move into the region was critical for the previously ‘pure Hunter’ boutique Cellar Door and winery operation.
