Dylan Grimes is surely the only person in the world with the job title “AFL footballer and vigneron”. The Richmond premiership star and All Australian defender owns Mount Macedon Winery with his wife Elisha. It is a sanctuary for Grimes – there can be no greater contrast to the ringing of the crowd at a capacity MCG than a solo stroll among the vines, where the backman is tagged by his dog. “It’s a completely different realm, and I get to pretend to be a farmer,” Grimes tells journalist Megan Hustwaite. The Tiger’s life off the footy field and on the land is this week’s cover feature. ●

F

rom the lush MCG to picturesque Mount Macedon, Dylan Grimes likes to roam wide, open spaces.

The two-time Richmond premiership defender is best known for nullifying the AFL’s best forwards, as highlighted by his sensational 2019 All-Australian season, but away from the game he spends his time in a field of a different kind, as owner of Mount Macedon Winery.

The 28-year-old and his wife Elisha, who were married last month, purchased the 32.2-hectare property, which also features a farm, restaurant and cellar door, events space and accommodation, nearly three years ago.

First planted in 1989, as part of Olivia NewtonJohn’s Koala Blue label, the winery on the western slopes of Mount Macedon sits 680 metres above sea level, making it one of the highest altitude wineries in Australia. The challenging growing conditions make for high quality fruit and a more condensed and interesting flavour.

Grimes says he’s found his passion and purpose outside of football.

“It’s a completely different realm and I get to pretend to be a farmer, which is fun,’’ he tells Domain Review.

“Growing up at Panton Hill, I spent every weekend and school holidays doing things in the country and on the farm and I fell in love with it.

“I knew post-footy I was going to really immerse myself in the country and live on the land and while playing I’ve been able to set up that life after footy.

“I’d been a keen wine consumer of all types.

My wife was working in the Yarra Valley and this place came up – we jumped at it and haven’t looked back.”

Mount Macedon Winery manages the growing season then sends the fruits of its labour to Werribee’s Shadowfax Wines where it’s pressed, returned then bottled. Pinot noir and chardonnay are their specialities.

At Christmas, the couple will head to France on a honeymoon-research trip to look into some new planting techniques.

Being on the land and breathing in the fresh

country air has given Grimes both balance and an ability to be more present.

“Getting out in a beautiful country setting and escaping to something different, there’s never a dull moment with a place like this. Football’s such a fast-paced vibe, a bubble, but it’s the complete opposite up here; you’re in touch with nature and what the seasons and land are doing,’’ he says.

“It’s helped my football, without a shadow of a doubt, to not be so immersed in one thing. More and more players are finding things away from football and realising the benefits of having a more balanced approach to their career and life. You can over-think and overdo things and sometimes the answer isn’t more, more, more.

“Out on the land you’re working with your hands, in nature and, for me, there’s no better feeling because you’re fully immersed in the moment and getting back in touch with something that means a lot to me.”

“I catch the V-Line train to Melbourne, get a coffee at Woodend station and really enjoy it. It’s a good chance to do some work on the train and nice not to drive sometimes,” he says.

“You see the same people every morning and the guy remembers my coffee order now, so I’m officially a local. It’s a terrific community in the Macedon Ranges and the more time we spend here, the more we love it.”

S

etting up himself for life after footy has also been a motivating factor.

“I left school, drafted at 18, so I’ve never had a job other than at the Richmond Football Club. As you get older, you look at friends you went to school with who have finished uni degrees and immersed themselves in their industry for a long time now,’’ Grimes says.

“You can come out of the game feeling underqualified and under-skilled, going from living a

“It’s helped my football, without a shadow of a doubt, to not be so immersed in one thing. Out on the land you’re working with your hands ... there’s no better feeling.”

Nevertheless, Grimes reckons there are similarities between footy and farm life.

“Keeping the animals happy and healthy, fences standing straight and staying on top of the firewood is a full-time job in itself. There are a few moving parts and I think that’s what makes it so engaging,’’ he says.

“Similar to footy, I think players realise early on there’s a correlation between hard work and reward. With a big property like this that correlation is particularly evident because you really get out what you put in and I’ve been able to apply that message from football to a different field.”

During the cut and thrust of the footy season, Grimes divides his time between Mount Macedon and his city base.

lifestyle in an elite environment to being unemployed with not a lot of experience in anything other than football.

“So, it can be pretty daunting for a lot of players.

I’ve been lucky to find something I’m really passionate about and have terrific mentors to surround myself with.”

So, what’s next for the AFL’s vigneron?

“I’m super excited about expanding the paddockto-plate concept. I really want to grow the majority of the produce we’re using in the restaurant and cellar door,” Grimes says.

“My family are traditionally olive growers so an olive grove as well and I’d love to get chickens and a dairy cow.” ● ● mountmacedonwinery.com.au

icture this: a cabin in the wild, the light of the stars shining brilliantly in the night’s sky.

Not a sound besides the echoes of nature.

“Serve yourself” reads its welcome sign. “So come here, serve yourself, with thanks.” They’re the welcoming words of Matthew McConaughey. That’s right, the Matthew McConaughey wants you to experience The Reserve, his cabin in the woods.

This isn’t a drill. The Academy Award-winning actor and Hollywood heartthrob, with his southern charm and prophetic-like quotes, has helped design a private off-the-grid sanctuary in partnership with Wild Turkey and Australian travel start-up Unyoked. McConaughey, Wild Turkey’s creative director, launched The Reserve as part of Wild Turkey’s “With Thanks” initiative supporting Australians demonstrating conviction to protect and preserve the unique natural environment.

“This 'With Thanks’ initiative we are on, we have been looking for places and people to go and shine a light on and say 'hey, thank you’. And with that thank you, hopefully comes exposure to more responsibility for not only us to take but for others to take,” McConaughey says. “Personal responsibility is a very tough thing to sell and I don’t think you can sell it across the board, but we can make a dent.

And it’s a good dent.”

Unveiling the cabins in Sydney late last month, McConaughey and Unyoked reiterated the desire for guests to switch off, escaping the mundanity and stresses of everyday life, disconnecting digitally and mentally and getting, well, “unyoked” – meaning to cease work.

“One of the things that can happen when you go off on your own is that you may not enjoy the company ... and that’s a good thing,” McConaughey says. “Hopefully you can stay long enough to shake

hands with the fact that you’re the only one you can’t get rid of. So, you start getting along. I’ve had that experience many times in my life.”

The coming together of twin brothers from the Northern Territory – Cam and Chris Grant, founders of Unyoked – Wild Turkey and one of Hollywood’s biggest stars seems like an unlikely partnership, but that’s the point.

Chris Grant explains: “Matthew flew us to America to meet with him where we discussed at length what we do and why we do it. We found a common interest and from that, he came up with the idea to design a cabin and the elements inside it, with the proceeds going back towards our charity partner. Matthew was like one of the team.”

Inside The Reserve are design decisions that are iconically McConaughey: dim, moody lighting,

timber throughout, essays by Ralph Waldo Emerson, books by Og Mandino, Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan playing on cassette, and even a hidden Wild Turkey Bar stocked with McConaughey’s very own Longbranch bourbon.

“We all feel frazzled from time to time and I sure don’t have it down, but The Reserve is a place engineered to give you the time to check back in with the source ... yourself. It’s an antidote to the frenetic pace of life,” McConaughey says. ● THE RESERVE \ Bookings open in early December, with a percentage of the proceeds from stays donated to Unyoked’s charity partner, the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife. ● unyoked.co

ou often hear of people who say they want to live a different kind of life – it might be moving to an idyllic locale overseas, growing their own produce, focusing on friends rather than finances – but you rarely meet someone who actually does it.

Matt Purbrick and his wife Lentil are a couple who have managed to achieve those goals, and a glimpse into their bicontinental life in Italy and Victoria – as well as the development of their own organic wine label Minimum – proves that dreams can sometimes become the most aspirational kind of reality.

Purbrick admits that he became

M AT T & L E N T I L PU R B RI C K

nostalgic for the environment he was raised in, where Australian kids pedalled around on their bikes together, ate homemade food and were remote enough to create their own idyllic enclave.

As he reached adulthood, he felt less connected to his place of birth and more drawn to Italy, where his mother’s family was from.

The bare minimum

The good life imbues every drop of wine made by this Victorian couple.

“Over here [Italy], the focus is on family and food and friends. And so everyone feels richer here.”

He and Lentil “were curious … and we connected with a culture that embodied the teachings that we were doing at the time, and fell in love with it.”

The project he’s referring to is Grown & Gathered, whereby the couple have been proponents of farming their own produce and being advocates of sustainable farming and packaging.

Apart from producing two books – Grown & Gathered, and The Village – they also developed interests such as Lentil’s Flower Exchange, for which they’d grow flowers and trade them, rather than exchange money for them.

In September, Minimum Wines was launched, just months after the couple decided to call Italy home.

The idea was to create an organic wine label with a focus on minimum intervention, natural growing principles and true sustainability.

And the pair took advantage of a knowledgeable partner, joining forces with Purbrick’s father, Tahbilk chief executive and winemaker Alister Purbrick.

Growing up, Matt and his father had a traditional father-son relationship, and Matt didn’t think he’d enter the wine-making market.

A decade ago, he thinks his father probably thought he was a hippie,

“but … there has been this cultural shift in Australia, where [people] started to recognise the importance of the things [we stood for].”

To date, Minimum has created a chardonnay, a sangiovese rosato and a sangiovese syrah.

Purbrick says he tries not to compare it with other wines on the market: “The most important thing is that we’re dedicated to making

fantastic, nuanced wines that enhance the natural environments within which they are produced, rather than destroy them. We are incredibly proud to be sequestering more carbon than we produce, enlivening our souls and not leaving a trail of waste behind us.”

But the main thing that the couple has learnt isn’t about wine at all.

The main lesson Purbrick has gleaned from Italy? “Just slow down,” he says. “Have a bit more time, give more time to the life part of life. I think we work so hard in Australia, and it feels weird to have downtime there. Just stop and take the day slower. Over here, the focus is on family and food and friends. And so everyone feels richer here. They’re definitely not, but life feels richer.” ● ● minimumwines.com

The fight against brain cancer will take journalist Candice Wyatt to greater heights than ever before.

Now, six years after Karyn’s death at age 56, Wyatt will embark on the journey they had planned, honouring her mother and with a vital purpose.

In February next year, she is joining a trek of the Annapurna Circuit in the Nepalese Himalayas to raise money towards treatments for brain cancer. Wyatt has been pushing herself through regular altitude training at a gym this year to handle the extreme conditions.

Her fundraising endeavours – the goal is tens of thousands – go handin hand with her role as an ambassador for Cure Brain Cancer, the foundation behind the trek.

Wyatt, now a senior reporter and newsreader at 10 News First, agreed they would together fulfil one of her mother’s wishes – trekking to Everest base camp.

However, before she and Wyatt could make plans for the trip, Karyn started experiencing vertigo. It came with a dire diagnosis: the mother of two had brain cancer, which to date has no cure.

“It’s still a great unknown. Brain cancer kills more children and more adults under 40 in Australia than any other disease.”

26 people at the Pullman Melbourne on Swanston (pictured left), where she will wait on diners (bids can be made by direct messaging Wyatt through her Instagram account).

Contributing to the cause will be the sales of a limited edition candle she has developed – The Scent of Nepal – invoking the fragrances her mother loved; patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla and cinnamon.

Wyatt remembers that when her mother first became ill, she was naive to the insidious nature of brain cancer. “Survival rates for brain cancer have not changed in decades,” she says. “It’s still a great unknown.

Brain cancer kills more children and more adults under 40 in Australia than any other disease. We thought she would have an operation and everything would be fine.”

Karyn was told to expect numbness in her left arm and leg.

Instead, her mother woke up from surgery “and [those limbs] were completely paralysed. She never walked again. That made her entire hospital stay and death even worse.

She always talked about running again. She’d say, ‘I can’t wait until I can go back home and go for a run.’

The disease caused painful shifts in the final stages.

“She had personality changes, she became aggressive [from the brain cancer] and the drugs she had to take changed everything about her appetite and appearance,” Wyatt says of her mother. “You don’t get the deep and meaningful conversations.”

hether it’s a beer at a barbecue with mates or a glass of bubbly on Christmas Day, there is no guilt in enjoying an ice cold beverage when socialising in the summer time.

The important thing to remember is that alcohol contains calories just like food (shocking, I know), and there’s a big difference between one wine with dinner and six espresso martinis on a Friday night.

If weight loss (or even maintenance) is your goal during this period then it pays to be aware of the best and worst choices when it comes to booze.

RED WINE \ Dry wines are relatively low in sugar as

most of the sugar content gets converted to alcohol during the fermentation process. A nice glass of pinot noir is my pick but if you want something a little more refreshing, opt for a chilled dry white.

CLEAR SPIRITS AND SODA WATER \ It’s not the

CHAMPAGNE \ Champagne is lower in both calories and sugar than white wine. However, the bubbles in champagne mean you feel the effects of the alcohol more easily, so make sure you’re keeping track of your consumption.

A few glasses of quality champagne is better than a whole bottle of average bubbles.

most exciting choice but vodka and soda water is your healthiest pick when you’re trying to keep calories and sugar in check. If you’re a gin fan, keep in mind that tonic water is not on par with soda water and can be packed full of sugar.

BEER \ I love a cold beer in summer but unfortunately most beers are high in carbs and sugar, which is not great for our waistline, hence the term “beer belly”.

When well-heeled buyers want to invest in one of the flashiest addresses in Melbourne, they buy in Brighton’s Golden Mile. But when they want seclusion in the prestigious suburb, they nab a hideaway on Kinane Street.

Shane Warne used to be a resident. And Chris and Bec Judd are new arrivals, having just completed renovations on a Spanish colonial pad two doors down.

Regardless of the celebrity neighbours, you can enjoy splendid isolation at No.6, which feels like an exclusive resort. Tucked away at the back of the 1448-square-metre block is a huge Tuscan-style villa. It comes with exterior accessories – including a tennis court, mosaic-tiled pool and spa, and long driveway – that match the opulence of the home’s interior.

The latter has been recently revamped, with the current owners creating chic European-influenced living zones with a calming palette of black, white and grey.

From the basement entry, take the marble staircase to the ground floor to explore the main living zone, which is perfect for entertaining. Herringbone oak floors spread through the formal dining and lounge area, which has two sets of french doors leading to the terrace by the pool.

Further along is the more casual open-plan kitchen, family and meals area – also an expansive space – that connects to the terrace via bifold doors. The Miele kitchen, with its large walk-in pantry and generous bench space, would make catering a breeze.

Upstairs, the first floor is devoted to four plushly-carpeted bedrooms. The parents’ retreat has a marble en suite

Painters/Decorators

Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery.

Dr Stubbs formerly at the Royal Victorian Eye Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs.

“My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,” Dr Stubbs says.

A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses.

One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses.

That inspires me.

“Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.”

No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.
