Parawa Estate, located at the southern end of South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula, last month launched its latest luxury wine in Italy, aimed at the top echelons of the world wine market.

The second of its ‘Classic Range’ - the 2008 Eden Grand Reserve Syrah will retail on release at US$800 a bottle. The wine will be launched at Vinitaly, Europe’s biggest wine event, in Verona.

The boutique company stormed onto the world scene last year with the release of the most expensive Australian wine ever (on release) with the Ingalalla Grand Reserve 2007.

This ‘Bordeaux style blend’ was released to the world media at Vinitaly 2012 with sales being made to the top tiers of wine buyers in Europe and Asia.

The 2008 Eden Grand Reserve Syrah will be Australia's most exclusive Syrah, a serious investment-grade wine that the makers consider to be an equal of many of the great Rhone Valley wines, most also marketed around USD $800 per bottle.

How to secure the enterprise with Least Privilege

By Centrify Asia-Pacific Regional Director Matt Ramsay

It’s time we took a fresh look at the core problems bedevilling our enterprise security.

Do we only need to guard against the bad guys trying to hack our infrastructure? Or do we need to defend ourselves from the bad habits of the good guys who manage that infrastructure?

The bad guys are a given: Their hack attempts are driven by every motivation from greed to ego. But the bad habits of the good guys – your beloved systems administrators – are another matter.

Debut novel hits second print run before launch

Details: In Innovation; / Published on 22 April 2013

Kim Lock’s first novel, Peace, Love and Khaki Socks, has attracted such strong pre-orders that publisher MidnightSun Publishing has ordered a second print run – a week before it is launched.

Set in Darwin, Peace, Love and Khaki Socks tells the story of a young ‘army wife’ who finds herself unexpectedly pregnant. The main character’s tumultuous journey explores the patriarchal culture inside the Australian Army and challenges many cultural conceits surrounding pregnancy and childbirth. At the heart of the story is the woman’s controversial choice to homebirth.

Debut author Kim Lock, who has drawn on insights from her own life as an army wife, will launch Peace, Love and Khaki Socks, at the SA Writers' Centre in Adelaide on Friday, April 26.

MidnightSun Publishing founder Anna Solding said the novel, which has been promoted online before its launch, had generated such strong pre-orders that the second print run was necessary. “I’ve never heard of this happening before,” she said.
