The Best of the Barrel
After an outstanding year of awards in the 2021 Halliday Wine Companion, receiving recognition for the likes of Top 10 Dark Horse Winery, Best of the Best, and 97-points for its Premium Shiraz, Ellis Wines have now opened Bendigo’s only urban cellar door – which can be found in Garsed Street. Complete with earthy décor, bluestone floors, and a separate barrel room, the urban cellar door offers a fresh and inviting space to sample its range of Heathcote wines. Enjoy a glass with a pre-ordered cheese platter in the tasting room, or out in the barrel room amongst the wines in a relaxed atmosphere where you will be accompanied by Merlot, the cellar door cat.
Be sure to ask the team about the newly released sparkling moscato – a variety predominantly grown in the Northern mountainous region of Alto Adige in Italy, which makes an undeniably exciting addition to Ellis Wines’ Signature label.
