"Beautiful winery and great views around here. Lovely selection of wines to choose from. Staff are very accomodating and friendly here as well.
We tried the GSM and loved the flavour of it, perfectly balanced and great tones to it.
I could easily spend a lot of time here sipping on their lovely wine and observing the beautiful surroundings."
Ben (South Australia Vibes)
"Spent a delightful afternoon here enjoying the regional tasting platter, complete with some of Lloyds delicious olives and other tasty treats. They are able to cater for some gluten-free crackers. Wines are excellent and the aged reserve Shiraz our pick. Staff member Naomi was particularly helpful with an awesome can do attitude.
Update March 22, still great, very nice olives & wines, the GSM our pick today."
