JILLY GOOLDEN WOWS CAMEL VALLEY

TV’s most recognizable face of wine, Jilly Goolden, visited Camel Valley Vineyard on Monday 31 October.  Jilly, who was writing an article for a new magazine, ‘turned the first sod’ of an additional 7-acre vineyard to be planted at Camel Valley.

Said Bob Lindo:  ‘It was really exciting to have the opportunity to show Jilly Goolden around Camel Valley Vineyards.  One of our most commonly asked questions by visitors to the vineyard is:  ‘Has Jilly Goolden tasted your wines?’  Now we will be able to say, ‘Actually, she helped plant the vineyard!’  Added Bob: ‘Jilly was absolutely fantastic, her enthusiasm is catching and she is a true professional.’

Jilly for her part: ‘loved the place, loved the lunch and loved the wines’.  Jilly was also pleased to taste her first 2005 wine from the Northern hemisphere which she described as 'very aromatic' and 'full of flavour'.
