Made Kindly Magazine by Zig Zag Rd Wines

WELCOME
Welcome to our first Made Kindly
magazine and to Zig Zag Rd/Kind
Folk Wines.
We are Harriet and Henry Churchill
and along with our two young sons
and a couple of amazing team
members, we run Zig Zag Rd. Wines.
Our small cellar door, winery and
heritage vineyard (many of the
vines are turning a cool 50 next
year) is an hour’s drive north
of Melbourne in the misty Macedon
Ranges. We make small-batch wines
and are going through a process to
shift our farm to more regenerative
farming practices.
But, being Brits originally, we
don’t have any family here to help
us out during tough times or long
harvests and so rely heavily on the
support of our community to prop us
up and help us flourish. The first
year we were so blown away by the
kindness of our community that we
decided to bring out a brand new
wine label to celebrate these folks.
So each year, we put the names of 10
wonderful humans on our Kind Folk
wine bottles. It’s a tiny gesture
of thanks for the support and love
they’ve given us in different ways.
The Kind Folk range is a little
different from our more classic Zig
Zag Rd range and lets us have a bit
of fun with the winemaking too.

Junior Winemakers Albert & Wilbur
You’ll taste barrel fermented cloudy
rose, fun and sparkling petillant
naturels that change each year and wildfermented
reds.
And what you’re reading now is another
way we wanted to spotlight some of the
Kind Folk that we’ve got on the label
over the past couple of years. The signs
each person holds is one of the reasons
they ended up on the bottle (but won’t
be the only reason) and we just thought
their story needed a little focus. There
are many, many more Kind Folk than
those highlighted here, and we hope to
introduce you to them in due course.
We hope you enjoy reading a little about
our Kind Folk and their stories, and we
hope you enjoy the wine we made.
We acknowledge the Dja Dja Wurrung
Traditional Owners as custodians
of the land and ancient soil on
which we grow our grapes and make
our wine.
