THOMAS WILLIAM CARLYON ANGOVE | 1917 – 2010
Thomas (Tom) William Carlyon Angove joined the business in 1940 after finishing Dux of his degree in oenology at the University of Adelaide. Tom significantly expanded the winery's crushing and processing facilities and established the 480-hectare Nanya vineyard – at the time, the largest single vineyard in the southern hemisphere.
