our 150 year old wine cellar was previously used as a fruit packing shed for the early settlers. since being converted to a traditional wine cellar we can now process close to 110 tons of grapes in a season, these smaller volumes afford more concentration on quality rather than quantity.
stainless steel tanks aid in the making of the crisp clean whites, while barrels are favoured for the red wine making. there is a winemaker on hand at all times to tend the needs of wine, and often he can be seen crouched in the corner tasting some of the previous vintage.
when allowed, the cellar doubles up as a small function venue.
