Twisted Gum Wines

Queensland | Granite Belt

Our Review

Tim and Michelle Coelli bring diverse and interesting backgrounds to this venture. During his university days in the early 1980s Tim began reading weekly wine columns of a certain journalist and bought recommended red wines from Wynns and Peter Lehmann, liked the wines, and with wife Michelle ‘bought dozens and dozens ...’ Tim became a research economist, and during periods of living and working in Europe, he and Michelle became well acquainted with the wines of France, Spain and Italy. Michelle has a degree in agricultural science which, she says,‘has not been well utilised because four children came along’. When they found a beautiful 40ha bush property on a ridge near Ballandean (at an altitude of 900m) with dry-grown vines already planted, they did not hesitate. -JAMES HALLIDAY
