Why Babblers?
If you enjoy good wine and good company, chances are you also get babbling towards the end of the night. The “Babbler” is known in North-East Victoria as a gregarious social kind of bird who hangs out with his family and friends. John Stokes; Wood Park’s owner and winemaker established his winery and vineyards in the King Valley in 1989. At that time the property was a run down grazing farm. Driven by a passion for the environment John has reinvigorated the Wood Park property through a mix of re-afforestation, erosion control and improved biodiversity. As a result many birds have flocked back to the farm, among them several families of White-Browed Babblers who entertain with amusing antics. Nestled gently into the environment, the vineyard is managed with minimal chemical use. The wine making is a passionate mix of traditional and modern techniques; including the use of wild yeasts and open fermenters. The results are wines acclaimed for their distinctive style and character – wines well suited to a babbling good night! This deep concern for the environment coupled with his enjoyment of the conviviality that flows from good wine and shared experiences has prompted John to establish his Wood Park “Babblers” wine club.
