Wine is not just a drink

Keeda loves the fact that each vineyard has an intricate story. It starts with the selection of the location and varietals which often remain unknown to the winemaker. 

So the process of bringing Miss Zilm to life was an emotional one. Keeda is now producing some beautiful wines from incredible vineyards in a region that she loves which is extremely important to her as not a lot of winemakers get this privilege.

"Sustainability is incredibly important to me. I truly believe that we, as adults, have a responsibility to be doing everything we possibly can to be sustainable".
