I should begin by saying I'm not a wine buff. I like it, but I'm by no means an expert. However I do like my wine, and visiting South Australia i wanted to have an experience at a winery down here.
We chose this winery not because we had heard of it, or for its reputation but because I tend to just make a selection on a whim and go with it.
I was not disappointed.
When you drive off of the road onto the dusty gravel drive and follow this to the tin building at the end, you would be forgiven for thinking this is a poky little place with little to offer.
Think again.
From the moment you step inside it is crystal clear that a great deal of thought has been put into it. It is simple, but very warm and friendly. It is very rustic, but welcoming and family friendly.
This isn't a winery where your ignorance of wine is dismissed or where you are made to feel as though you should know more than you do.
We sampled around 9 or 10 wines whilst at Mount Jagged, and the selection was very varied. They produce Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and there was a real cross section available to taste, catering for all of the different palates of my party.
In addition, there are tables and chairs inside and out, sign fantastic views. And for those visiting with children, a fantastic children's corner to keep the little ones busy while we sampled their wares.
As if this was my good enough, the staff are very welcoming and very engaging, showing a lot of interest in our children, offering them juice and spending a lot of time with us to explain the wines each in detail. Nothing was too much trouble.
I would definitely recommend stopping by. The pictures on previous reviews may be a little out of date now in 2017...so I have supplied a few of my own.
