AMONG THEM, A DOCTOR, ON THIS TREACHEROUS JOURNEY WITH HOPE FOR A BETTER LIFE.INSTEAD, THEY ARRIVED AT PORT MISERY, SOUTH AUSTRALIA. A DARK SWAMP, LIKE NOTHING THEY'D EVER IMAGINED. A PLACE OF LAWLESSNESS, LOW MORALS AND HIGH VICE, FAR FROM THE PROMISING NEW BEGINNINGS THEY SOUGHT.AT THAT MOMENT THEY THOUGHT, IF HOPE HAD BROUGHT THEM HERE, TO THIS DISMAL PLACE, SURELY THIS WAS `HOPES END'. AND SO IT WAS NAMED.YET FROM THIS DISAPPOINTMENT CAME NEW BEGINNINGS....AND FOR THE DOCTOR, THE EXTRAORDINARY IDEA TO MAKE A DIFFERENT KIND OF TONIC, WINE.FROM THE LAND, VINES. FROM THE GRAPES, WINE. FROM PURITY, PASSION. FROM VIRTUE, VICE.IN THAT MOMENT THEY DECIDED TO STOP HOPING FOR A BETTER TOMORROW, AND INSTEAD TO LIVE FOR THE DAY.OUR WINE'S JOURNEY ALSO BEGINS IN HOPE, WITH THE BRIGHT SUNLIGHT OF OUR HOT SOUTH AUSTRALIAN SUMMERS AND THE PURITY OF OUR VINES AND GRAPES.IT ENDS WITH THE DARKNESS AND DEPTH OF OUR RIPE RED FRUIT AND OUR DELICIOUSLY INDULGENT TASTE.WE DRINK THIS WINE TO EACH DAY THAT BEGINS IN HOPE WITH THE VIRTUE OF OUR DAYLIGHT ENDEAVOURS, BUT WHICH ENDS WITH THE VICE OF YOUR PLEASURES IN THE DARKNESS AND THE ADVENTURE OF TONIGHT.
