For many years, wineries have used techniques to make a wine appear crystal-clear. This makes for a more attractive product as you can see right through them. However, these filtering processes also remove elements that affect the flavours and aromas of a wine, so some winemakers choose not to filter. They believe that filtering strips the wine of its full character and complexity, avoiding filtering also maintains organic status. We are great advocates of these unfiltered, organic wines and enjoy their richer and fuller flavour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our extensive menu is complemented by our personally selected wine list.
