00:00 You called this part of the valley, you know, in accordance with what Bistro
00:06 Molinés is, it's another place, this takes you to another place.
00:10 Absolutely. A little slice of Europe. So, I mean, probably not words from my words, but certainly words from a lot of people that visit and dine at Bistros.
00:19 Robbie and Sal do amazing food up there and the views are just sensational. Those views are
00:24 across this property that we take some fruit from, so Talavera Grove, it was
00:29 formerly known, and then on to Briar Ridge Hill, which we drove over, where
00:34 Briar Ridge is, but it's just its own little microclimate.
00:38 It's completely separate, quiet, tranquil. It's often forgotten about as part of the Hunter Valley.
00:45 You've obviously got your sub-regions more prominently known, like Colborne and Lovedale, but Mount View is just this lovely little spot up on the hill that's a bit of a well-kept secret.
