In 1850 he was employed by John Reynella to work on the Reynella vineyards near Adelaide. By 1857 he had purchased his own vineyard and produced his first vintage. And by 1874 had purchased the famous Tintara vineyard in McLaren Vale from Alexander C Kelly. In 1883 he travelled to the United States visiting California Ohio and the East Coast. In California he visited San Francisco the Napa Valley Sonoma and many vineyards wineries and negociants down the coast to Los Angeles. He wrote about his experiences and published them as Notes on the Vineyards in America and Europe published by L Henn in Adelaide in 1885. He was also a founding lecturer on viticulture and wine-making at Roseworthy Agricultural College the leading Australian winemaking institute when it opened in 1885.<br /> <br /> The comprehensive and detailed essay on Californian wine in Notes on the Vineyards reproduced here is considered to be the first comprehensive text about early Californian winemaking.
