Botobolar was established in 1971 by Gil Wahlquist, who was one of Australia’s most prominent organic viticulturists. He acquired a 120 acre property, with 60 acres devoted to his vineyards and constructed an on-site winery. This was purchased in 1993 by Trina & Kevin Karstrom, who have continued the legacy Gil Wahlquist by maintaining the organic nature of Botobolar, and further enhancing its status in the local area and nationwide. Botobolar is a very successful organic winery, which can be attributed to a number of combined locational and ecological factors.

Now, picture your own government placing outrageous tax on spirits and wine to pay for the expense of fighting such a long war. Think about how angry that would make you. Especially, when you just fought to free your country from oppressive British taxes.

Let’s start by taking a closer look at the production of moonshine.
Robert G. Mondavi, the son of poor Italian immigrants, began making wine in California in 1943 when his family purchased the Charles Krug winery in Napa Valley where he served as a general manager. In 1966, at the age of 54, after a severe dispute over control of the family-owned winery, Robert Mondavi used his personal savings and loans from friends to start the flagship Robert Mondavi Winery in Napa Valley with his eldest son, Michael Mondavi. Robert's vision was to create wines in California that could successfully compete with the greatest wines of the world.
