Distinctive boutique winery, recognised for its ability to combine innovation and tradition. The organic vineyard produces small quantities of flavoursome fruit and all wine is hand-crafted on-site. The honest varietal expression and true terrier character have resulted in a level of quality and consistency not often found among boutique vineyards. Superb Victorian wines, full flavoured, robust and approachable, including a spicy and berried Shiraz, a chocolaty Cabernet and a concentrated black current and plum Merlot. A limited edition Tempranillo is not to be missed. Mount Avoca's hand crafted Sauvignon Blanc is arguably the best in the Pyrenees with tropical passionfruit notes and a smooth lingering finish. A visit to this cellar door is invariably a satisfying experience.
