A water with... famed water sommelier Martin Riese on his new podcast with his co host Michael Mascha: Guest today Dayle & Olaf, Owner of Aqui-Live from Australia. Powered by Planet Water Podcast, Martin & Michael want to know from Dayle & Olaf the story of Aqui-Live:
It begins in 2012, when Olaf and Dayle purchase a family holiday house on a small parcel of land atop Red Hill on the Mornington Peninsula, 85 kilometres south of the Melbourne CBD. The area is populated with boutique wineries, producing acclaimed cool-climate wines from grapes grown in the red, mineral-rich soil from which the area takes its name.
The property’s previous owner utilised the overgrown spring outfall in a corner of the property for irrigation purposes. The spring is initially nicknamed by Olaf and Dayle’s family “the frog love hotel”, in a tribute to its noisy key inhabitants.
A family friend with experience of natural springs tastes the water and, noting its rich minerality and incredibly soft mouth feel, suggests a sample be sent for testing. The first result is encouraging. A battery of further tests are life-changing. They reveal outstanding mineral balance and an incredible purity to rival any known mineral water in the world.
Extensive further research pinpoints the source as an ancient aquifer, known as the Paleolithic Basement, which lies directly beneath the Mornington Peninsula at a depth of 900 metres. It is believed to be 600 million years old and draws its water from New Zealand, where rainfall seeps into the ground and trickles through tectonic plates to feed the aquifer.
Incredibly, the water that emerges in Dayle and Olaf’s backyard is believed to take a minimum of 2000 years to force its way up through the Red Hill soil.
In 2015, Olaf and Dayle leave their full-time jobs. They build a small plant on-site to harvest the overflow.
They now share the unique gift of Aqui-Live water with the world.
