DAVID LLOYD (OB 1971)

Well-established Mornington Peninsula winery and vineyard Eldridge Estate has been sold by its founder David Lloyd (OB 1971), who has retired with his wife Carol to Tasmania.

David has survived two bouts of cancer in recent years, and after more than 27 years running Eldridge Estate has decided it’s time to rest up. He will continue winemaking in a small way with Tasmanian pinot noir, in a project with Michael Twelftree of Two Hands Wines.

“In February Carol and I purchased a beautiful home on a hectare of native bush in Dodges Ferry where we decided to retire to.” remarked David.

In the move to Tasmania David found an ancient Brighton Grammarian, Vol XX, No 2 dated August 1929 and in it is an article written by his late father, Ronald Davis Lloyd, titled, A Market Scene, signed Dlanor D Dyoll which as you can see is his name backwards.
