Winemaker's Bio
Randal Tomich manages the vineyard and together with his father, is the major driving force behind the Tomich label. Randal project managed the vineyard development, overseeing every detail from the conception of the vineyard through to harvesting the grapes.
Experience gleaned from managing broad-acre farming properties and a recognition that traditional development methods are inadequate has led him to researching ripping technology with soil scientists, viticulturists, the CSIRO, mechanical engineers as well as a study trip to Europe. As a result of the research, assisted by Soil Scientist, John Rasic, he designed his own ripping technology. Randal called the new ripper the ‘Vibrosoiler’ – a vibrating winged ripper. The ripper has the ability to mix top soil with the underlying subsoil improving water penetration and root growth. The technology has now been exported and is in use in California in the USA.
