“For me surfing big waves is what I like to do. Margaret River is unique for that when you talk about the wine as well. It’s a special place. What’s amazing is the diversity of varieties. On the same vineyard, perhaps a different aspect, you can do really good chardonnay and really good cabernet. And that’s bizarre when you look at Burgundy versus Bordeaux; they’re very different places. So I think it’s got a special climate. The capes have a big influence. Cloud cover and sea breeze can come in and cool, which we need with long hot days. There’s not many geographic areas like this. For me to go to other places to make wine? They don’t have the diversity or the life. The quality of both is very special”
