Beautiful wines, but a disappointing experience. Before we d even tasted our first wine we had been hand-balled between three staff members at the cellar door. It was clear they only had interest in selling & promoting the more high end wines on their list. Every time we asked a question they were dismissive and immediately talked about why a $80-100 bottle was better (even when we were complimenting the wine).
We bought 4 bottles around the $30-50 mark because we liked the wine, but we probably would have bought more had we enjoyed the wine tasting experience.
If management has the cellar door staff on some type of incentive to sell the higher end wines, you should reconsider. It s ruining the experience for the entry level wine buyers.
We left the Barossa with >40 wines. Torbrek could ve had a greater share of that business
