Statement of Significance
The site is significant due to its association with the horticultural industry in the district and with pioneering families.
Physical Description
The vineyard site was east of the homestead and comprised almost 5 acres. No remnants are left.
History
Gus Mader was one of three brothers of German origin who came to the area from Burra, S.A. They developed their own farms after working in the district for some years.
Gustave Herman (Gus), selected a block 'Winlaton' to the south, adjoining Ted
Wilhelm's farm. The stone house was built from rock collected on the property and in 1929 he married Grace Bagnall. She had been born in Staffordshire, England and her parents had lived on part of the land previously worked by Gus and Mick Becker.
Due to illness, the property was leased in 1939 to Stan Becker and the Maders with their three children moved to Katanning. In 1944, 'Winlaton' comprising 1180 acres was sold.
