Once thawed, make your way to one of the many tasting counters and work your way through the epic list. I stuck to the dryer bubbles and then made my way in to red land, getting the chance to try a back vintage Durif which I subsequently bought a bottle of. Why take a bottle home and risk my dodgy cellaring options (in a box under my bed) when I can just pay an extra $20 on the current vintage price and get something with 10 years of age on it already? Brown Brothers is huge and while I don't necessarily enjoy a lot of their "mainstream" drops (the stuff that is made to fly off the shelves at every single bottle-o across the country) some of their more experimental grape styles are bangin'. The prosecco and sparkling are some of the best produced in Australia. I admire the focus on family and tradition here and like that even for a short visit I'm made to feel like I'm part of that extended family by the warm and welcoming staff.

Or, you can sit inside at one of their tables or lounges by the fire, still with a great view. Shaw have a private tasting room and sell wine merchandise and to take home. Their tastings are free with a good mix of whites, red and also offer tastings of their premium wines which are very savoury. Their core range Shiras was the pick, it was very rich and fruit driven, plums and winter berries. This went down a treat with their charcuterie and cheese platter. There is also a rustic restaurant on side, called Olleyville, serving small, medium sized plates, shared meals and pizzas. We enjoyed our visit to Shaw and it is well worth a visit to this winery. One of the nicest outlooks and wineries.

Located in a prime position within what is described as a cool climate region at an elevation of around 640 metres, the Estate is quite unique in that several of the sites with appropriately sloping aspects, and superb soils, have microclimates perfectly suiting the production of outstanding Cabernet. The property with around 85 acres under vines including Riesling, Semillon, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, provides Shaw wines with its entire production, and can lay claim to the fact that they produce 100% Estate grown wines. In just a few short years, Shaw Vineyard Estate wines have already been recognised with 9 trophies and a swag of gold, silver and bronze medals from various Australian and International wine shows.

Newly established (less than a year) it's very modern and fresh inside...service is terrific. I had the fried bocconcini for a starter - yummo!! My main of the beef check was a little less impressive, standard flavour and slightly dry - but as like my dining buddies all the servings were huge! Looking back, I should have gone with my first choice of the pork.
