Скачать или смотреть The Caley | The Story of Fred Caley Smith

Yalumba The Caley is the result of an unwavering commitment to the classic blend of Cabernet Shiraz. Named in honour of Fred Caley Smith, grandson of Yalumba founder Samuel Smith, The Caley rightfully honours one of Yalumba’s most adventurous sons.

Fred Caley Smith was a horticulturist who had a profound impact on the development of Yalumba’s orchards and vineyards.

He is best remembered for a ground-breaking research journey he undertook in 1893 and 1894 to the USA, UK, Europe, the Middle East, Sri Lanka and India.

The 29-year-old’s detailed and poignant letters to his father, sent home every few days, were collected and kept in the Yalumba archive and over subsequent generations they have provided inspiration and encouragement for Yalumba’s outward looking international handshake.

His story lay dormant for many years, until our Yalumba Storyteller Jane Ferrari discovered the legend of Fred Caley Smith and resurfaced the story of his journey that took place in 1893.
