Lome

Tim and Diane Robertson lived and worked for 23 years in the Bendigo region, and happened to be in the right place at the right time when, in 2008, they were able to purchase a newly established vineyard at Harcourt North. They called their venture ‘Lome', and have since expanded the vineyard to 5ha of shiraz, marsanne, viognier and roussanne. Their interest sprang from past times of backyard viticulture and garage-based winemaking at their home in Burgundy, interspersed with holiday travels elsewhere in France. -JAMES HALLIDAY
