Overview
If mainstream wines are becoming a bit ho-hum, a visit to Lino Ramble, tucked away along the famous McMurtrie Mile strip in McLaren Vale, should definitely be on the cards.
Known for its quirky take on alternative varietals grown locally in McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills, this truly is a little wine brand with a big heart - that never shies away from a wine-style challenge. Their intriguing range are made to ensure winemaking ‘fingerprints’ are kept to a minimum, and that the fruit’s unique character takes centre stage.
And with varieties like Arinto, Grillo, Cinsault, Sangiovese and Saperavi, it’s a good thing they do. Because as you work your way through their one-of-a-kind tasting flight - quite often hosted by the winemaker himself - you’ll want to savour all the intriguing flavours you’ll find in each.
Adding to the experience, the cosy, award-winning cellar door - decked out with quirky décor - is more than worth a look. Housed within the stone-clad wall of a historic cottage, and sharing the space with two other wine labels, a shady verandah is just the spot to sit and quietly savour a glass of their finest while taking in the beautiful surrounds.
Open 7 days, why not grab a crew and plan your next visit… and don’t leave your four-legged friend at home - they’re welcome too!
Lino Ramble. Where discovering something new isn’t a possibility - it’s a given!
