The first vines were planted in 1981 by Ian Cowell on his Courabyra Rd property – now known as ‘Revee Estate’. In 1986 Charles Sturt University and Seppelts purchased the first vintage for Sparkling wine. The vineyard expanded to 30 Ha over three years and became the backbone for the highly successful Salinger label from Seppelts.
