Show Notes

Halliday Wine Companion 'By the Glass' EP 14: Dylan McMahon, Seville Estate, Yarra Valley. Join me as I sit down with Dylan McMahon from Seville Estate in Victoria's Yarra Valley to reflect on the last two years. From his greatest learnings, to the moments that shaped Seville Estate as a business. Dylan candidly discusses what life was like running a business during one of the most difficult periods in history, the COVID-19 global pandemic. Seville Estate was established in 1972 and has a diverse offering from accommodation, to events, an on-site restaurant, and of course, a cellar door where you can try all of their beautiful wines. Dylan McMahon is the grandson of Peter and Margaret, the founders of Seville, and he is now the chief winemaker here at the estate. So who better to chat with on the highs and lows of 2020/21, please welcome Dylan. Want to know what wine we were drinking? Seville Estate Yarra Valley Shiraz 2019
