Lazy River Estate Winery
Website
The Lazy River Estate vineyard is located on the original site where Robert Dullhunty was said to be squatting in 1829. He was determined to make his claim and establish a city on the plains. However Jean Emile Serisier, another early pioneer, had other ideas and set up camp downstream where rthe city of Dubbo is located today.
Serisier took his workers away from Dullhunty's pub and stone house and established the Serisier General Store in Macquarie Street in 1848. To further frustrate Dullhunty, he returned back upstream past "Old Dubbo" and planted 50,000 wine grape vines, producing close to 100,000 litres of wine a year. In doing so, Serisier created the second longest cellar in the colony known as "Eumalga".
Soon after, German winemaker George Roth planted a vineyard next to Lazy River Estate, just behind what was the Old Dubbo cricket pitch. The Roth family relocated to plant the first vineyard in Mudgee which was named "Craigmore" in 1857.
On the other side of the Macquarie River, Fredrick and Salome Kurtz were more quietly going about their business at Mouth Olive vineyard, growing 15 acres of premium fruit and making award-winning wines. Mrs Kurtz won numerous international awards, including two medals in Chicago for her 1892 Shiraz.
