With vintage drawing to a close a new member joined the Hemera Estate team here on Barossa Valley Way. His name is Billy and he’s an 8 month old Jack Russell/Fox Terrier cross. He’s been welcomed by the rest of the team here and seems to be settling in very well.

Ah well, if you’re a winery dog then you’ve got to expect the odd wine stain I guess!
