A must visit winery. Fantastic Riesling, Chardonnay and Merlot from their selection of wines. Super friendly staff, especially Ann who created an amazing experience for us and also went the extra mile to give us some information about the region. As recommend by Ann the Shiraz and Riesling paste they sell go very well with cheeses and meats.

It was an absolute pleasure to visit and Maddy was phenomenal with her knowledge of wines and ability to explain all the different tasting notes. All the wines are reasonably priced too - so much so we took 6. I'd definitely recommend this as a "need to go to" in the Clare region
