Tim Kidman is a 5th generation Kidman farmer and grew up to be a viticulturist, educated hands-on in the field by the two men who would then hand us the responsibility to make our own mark at our Coonawarra vineyard. Our original vineyard, Clytha, was planted in 1970 by Grant Wood, Tim Kidman’s grandfather, with Tim ‘helping’ to his fullest three-year-old capacity. Today, forty five plus years and three generations later (four generations when you include our own very young “assistant managers”), husband and wife team, Tim and Sarah Kidman, not only care for those original vines, but have expanded the vineyard tenfold with additional vines of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Coonawarra’s very first Viognier.
