The Australian Ambassador to the Holy See, Tim Fischer, had asked the Coonawarra Vignerons' Association to send the wine for official embassy functions. Michelle Stebhens, for the winemakers, is pleased the shipment has arrived in time and says the donation will help lift the wine region's profile. "I'm very proud that we get to be a part of it. Certainly obviously the Penola, Coonawarra, connection's very strong (with Mary MacKillop)," she said.
"It was a wonderful idea on behalf of ambassador Fischer to include us and it really is a once in a lifetime event that we get to be a part of."In Adelaide, an exhibition of paintings celebrating the life and work of Mary MacKillop will be opened by the SA Governor. Artist Veronika Dimac's exhibition, Love Made Visible, is in the foyer of the SA Water Building in Victoria Square in the city.
