Over the moon for our painted cow!
Constable Estate Vineyards welcome everyone to come and see our new sculpture on display which was customed designed and built by Swiss Artist, Greg Holt.
"In December 2006 I was in Switzerland with my family on a walking and skiing holiday. We went window shopping in a local village and visited a little gallery we knew well.
Inside was a life-size painted cow made of polystyrene and painted to order by well know Swiss based artist Greg Holt. We decided to order an Australian version of the cow painted green and gold with a ribbon around its neck saying “Constable Estate Vineyards First Prize”, “Bottles & Glasses” on one rump and ” Barrel of One” on the other."
