A young guy who knew his stuff from another, much larger winery in McLlaren Vale recommend we visit Tim and Amanda at Geddes, we were so glad we did.
When we first arrived we weren't sure if we were in luck as it seemed they were closed. We gave the number on Google a call and Tim was only a minute away.
Definitely not your typical cellar door. It's the owner/winemaker talking to you about his wine, his passion.
Tim took us straight in and gave us a tour of the facility and we began to try some of the most absolutely delicious wines I've had.
Listening to the explanations around why this was blended with that and why this was was aged for this long in this oak, all whilst trying a wine here and there was magic.
I've never bought as much wine from a single vineyard as I did that day, but I couldn't not as it was that good.
Thanks to you Tim I need a new wine fridge, or a new house with a cellar !
Hope to see you at a feast...
Read moreWhat a fantastic way to spend a spring afternoon tasting wines at Geddes winery. Amanda our most gracious host entertained us with engaging stories while we worked our way through a cracking range of wines. The 2021 Rose was a pleasant opening to prepare for the serious wines to follow. 2022 Carignan has a terrific nose and is a great lighter Spanish style wine ideal for summer. Geddes signature wine is the Grenache and the 2021 did not disappoint. Their GSM had my palate dancing to its notes. My favourite was the Petit Verdot. A cab Sav and Shiraz finished a terrific tasting experience. Please do not tell too many people about this place as it may get too busy and ruin it for all...
Read moreThis winery captures the true spirit of wine and wine tasting. Every wine we tasted was superb. The tasting was unpretentious and focused on excellence in winemaking, friendly and down to earth. The winery is not obscured by a restaurant or gift shop, it is centered around the wine, the earth, and the people that make the experience of wine tasting in this area so special. Amanda (Mrs. G) is extremely knowledgeable and delightful to talk with. The tasting covered the range of this winery’s brilliant repertoire, and we only wish we could bring more with us on our travels home. Definitely worth discovering the memorable wines of...
