David is the inspiration for what we are today. He founded Wild Duck Creek Estate, planting our first vines in 1974. For our first 15 years David did everything, from all winemaking, building home-made spray units, delivering wine in his van across the country, and travelling the world talking about what makes our region so special. Now he dedicates most of his time to connecting what we do as winemakers with how we can improve our environment, through conservation of indigenous flora and fauna, reafforestation and education.
