WINERY GIVES BACK TO VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS

Pokolbin winery Tyrrell’s has given back to the Pokolbin Rural Fire Brigade, in gratitude to the volunteers who helped protect crops in last year’s bushfires.

Bruce Tyrrell presented Captain Stephen Drayton with a $5,000 donation to the brigade.

The money came from the sales of one of the only 2020 wines produced.

Most of last year’s crop across the Hunter Valley was lost due to smoke taint.
