About DEFIALY
 

Based in the Macedon Ranges, Micah Hewitt's background as a butcher and love for pairing good wholesome country-style food with honest wines provides abundant inspiration for his DEFIALY label. But most significantly, his spark ignites from his parents and the love they shared for each other as well as Micah and his sister Amber.

DEFIALY is an acronym for "Don't ever forget I'll always love you" which is Micah's way of carrying on his parents tradition of signing all cards with DEFIALY. How beautiful.
