Doh, he wasn't Australian, back to bed! 
Which Australian winery had the same winemaker between 1917 and 1983?
It's in South Australia.....
Greglz86
Greg Anderson
Mcwilliams?
No, Greglz86, Mc Williams have always been a pretty big operation and would have had many winemakers. I'd be surprised if anyone had been with them for that long.
I'm thinking of an iconic family company, with a pretty small operation that is famous for BIG reds. They are not in family hands now, but retained our person of interest for the final years of his tenure there.

Yalumba - Wyndam Hill Smith ?
Naa, all of those operations are big concerns, this has always been a small producer.
Another hint. It is in the Clare Valley.
Back in the early 80's we used to buy wine from this place in 25l plastic containers and do home bottling. A few years ago I was at the Oak Barrel in Elizabeth st, and was looking at a bottle of Shiraz from the winery in question that was over $100 for the latest release. I reminisced to the bloke that we used to do the home bottling of the stuff back then for around $3 per bottle. He said some of his customers still had some from that period and it was drinking very well. As we were poor students back then we drank it all up, and unfortunately I don't have any now.

Ok, I've had a great wine history lesson but cant find 1917 wine maker. Just have to be satisfied with the drinking & await the answer.
