ABOUT US

The creation of the Blacatoo originated from the beliefs passed down by the local people. Its English name Blacatoo was taken partially from black cockatoo. Black cockatoos are rare and expensive parrots protected by Australian government law. They are widely distributed throughout Australia, and South Australia and the McLaren Vale are also in their migratory area. Since the mid-19th century, the wineries in the McLaren Vale is booming. However, the black cockatoos are often driven away by some wineries using bird-repelling equipment because of their chirp and the habits of damaging the vineyard. Only a few wineries disagree. They felt that the rare black cockatoo symbolizes good luck and can bring good luck to the locals. As its body length is about half a meter, people feel that it is like the guardian angel of the winery. The land is protected to ensure the harvest of the coming year, so few people will not drive them away. Since the beginning of the establishment of Blacatoo, the logo and symbol of the brand is to hope to bring luck to the people who enjoyed our wine. The logo of the blacatoo also becomes the guarantee of the high-quality wine.
