'With its imposing gates, and architecturally designed building, this property stands out against the backdrop of rolling hills. There are two blocks in the hundred-acre vineyard, the 'old' block planted with Chardonnay and Pinot, which are over 20 years old, and the 'new' block, which has some experimental varieties such as Arneis. You can eat in the well-priced Vines Restaurant, wander through the gardens, or drink in the view of the hills from the casual BBQ area.' SALLY GUDGEON
