Warrenmang

Nice drive off the main roads, this winery boasts lovely views and seclusion. The cellar door is rustic and charming and if you ask about the underground tunnel behind the counter the host may lead you through to the winery and give you a tour. The volumes are big here but the quality is high. The drink now stuff is not totally simple; really pleasant and easy as you'd expect but with a light richness. There are lots of wines produced here but not all were on tasting when we were there. The showcase wines were all lovely. The Grand Pyrenees, a delicate but robust blend shows off the regions reds. The Estate Shiraz is deep and heavy with spice. The Black Puma is an even more premium Shiraz not on tasting and beyond my wallet but reports are good. The Torchia is a blend, not only of varietals but of vintages over ten years. Not on tasting this did tempt me and I'll open on a suitable occassion. Lunches and dinner menus look lovely. A lot to like here.
