A wonderful record of the early years of a vineyard, now Penfolds Winery, which has since become internationally-renowned and respected. Scotsman, Patrick Auld (1811-1886) planted the Auldana Vineyard at Magill in South Australia in1852. He sold this vineyard to the South Auldana Vineyard Association in 1862, but continued management of the vineyard until the company 'wind-up' in 1865, after which his son, William Patrick Auld, assumed management. Thomas Auld sold to a neighbour, Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold, in 1942.
