the OIO and have secured the new vines.”

years. I am really delighted that the Zebra Flat Vineyard will become an integral part of Mt Difficulty Wines in
the future, a business that I have admired for a number of years. Further, knowing Foley Wines will invest in
planting the remaining area is testament to the quality of wine that can be produced from Zebra.”
