The Vintner's LettersMcAra Peter Son of an Irish father and a French mother, Maurice George O'Shea was a famous Australian winemaker. Educated in France, he was also a man of passion, a romantic. In the cultured and elegant Miss Marcia Fuller, an accomplished pianist, he found his enduring sweetheart. Theirs would be a many-faceted and often stormy romance, confronted by religious differences and tested by life's vicissitudes. But their greatest challenge lay in Maurice's other consuming passion - making fine wines. He could not tear himself away from his beloved Hunter Valley vineyard. Marcia, every inch a city girl, was appalled by the primitive living conditions of the struggling vigneron. The Vintner's Letters is based on their true story as recounted by Simone Bryce, their daughter, and on the letters written by Maurice to Marcia during their courtship. 'Life without love is a failure.' MAURICE O'SHEA, POKOLBIN, 3RD SEPTEMBER, 1922. 'A touching story that's waited half a century to be told.'
