A real little gem of a winery. We have been several times over the last 4 or 5 years and thoroughly recommend a visit to anyone travelling through the Riverland region. Excellent fortifieds and some different warm climate varietals together with a fabulous sparkling Durif that is hard to beat. Always my go to for the Christmas day sparking !

First time here, and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the fortified wines. Especially the Ruby as its flavour was very unique to me. The vintage port was easy to drink and not overbearing. The muscat was very present in taste as a good Muscat should be. My visit was entirely for fortified wines, so I haven't tried the reds and whites as yet, but if the fortified wines are any indication, I would be enticed to try them as well next time. A pleasurable experience.

The experience here, is second to none! Jenny & Eric are exceptionally kind, welcoming, and hospitable and just want to showcase their amazing wine range, love of all things local & (if you're lucky) their incredible slow Saturdays feasts! If you're in the Riverland, go to 919 Wines; you won't regret it! 💛
