Mount Avoca

What a lovely site to enjoy wine! Food also available and would be a lovely place to sit and watch the day pass. The cellar door is light and comfortable and the host friendly and hospitable. The range has some good whites but the reds are really what you come for. Both the Cabernet and Shiraz are full but with delicacy and offer a good value example of the region. The Reserves of each are naturally more complex and longer and very enjoyable indeed. Some very interesting oddities also, including Frizzante, essentially a lightly alcoholic grape juice you could drink with breakfast and a sparkling Shiraz which wasn't my cup of tea but my wife liked it. There were some other sparklings, a wooded Sav Blanc that was impressive and an excellent Viognier. I'll go back to try the Tempranillo when they have more of it!
