Bunnamagoo In The USA

In the United States, Mount Lawson Wines is the same wine as that sold under the name Bunnamagoo in Australia.

Henry Lawson is the famous Australian bush poet and balladeer who spent his early years and attended school at the village of Eurunderee, some eight kilometres from the Mudgee township. Henry Lawson loved Eurunderee and he was later to commemorate his time there in a number of poems.

On the knolls where the vineyards and fruit-gardens are
There’s a beauty that even the drought cannot mar;
For I noticed it oft, in the days that are lost,
As I trod on the siding where lingered the frost,
When the shadows of night from the gullies were gone
And the hills in the background were flushed by the dawn.

~ from Eurunderee I by Henry Lawson

As it happens, Mount Lawson itself, is an extinct volcano more or less in the centre of Bunnamagoo and is the source of the deep volcanic soils on the property. Our Eurunderee vineyard, in addition to being Henry Lawson’s early home, is situated on Henry Lawson Drive not far from the Henry Lawson memorial. The name Lawson therefore seemed especially appropriate for wines produced from grapes grown at both our Bunnamagoo and Eurunderee vineyards. Thus, in the United States Mount Lawson Estate is the same wine as that sold under the name Bunnamagoo in Australia.
