About Us Paulmara Estates was established by Paul and Mara Georgiadis in 1999. We came up with the name 'Syna' due to our backgrounds and combined passion for fine wine. Syna is Greek for "together". 'The companionship for two like minds and hearts.' Together we established a 32 acre vineyard in the heart of the Barossa Valley, South Australia. All of the fruit for Paulmara Estates wines is estate grown on this premium Georgiadis Estates vineyard. The vines were planted in 1995, selecting premium clones (1654 and Modbury), on their own roots to grow optimum quality. Paul Georgiadis Born to an immigrant Greek family, Paul lived in Waikerie where his family owned vineyards, orchards and spent the majority of his childhood in all aspects of farming and vintage. Paul attended St. Peters College in Adelaide and continued to further his education, in completing a degree in Marketing at the University of South Australia. Whilst studying, he managed the family vineyard business. Paul is currently employed by one of the biggest, well-known, global companies as a Grower Relations Manager. He purchased the 32 acre premium vineyard in the Heart of the Barossa Valley in 1995.
