There is a quiet air of confidence surrounding the Silos Estate business. Guests check in and out of the accommodation before moving to the on-site restaurant. And owners Raj and Sophie are proud that their wines have become an elite, yet affordable, commodity. You won’t find Silos Estate wines entered into shows, but you will find them in corporate boardrooms around the world.

Winemaker’s tasting notes: Using late harvest grapes, this liqueur Muscat is a luscious sweet, wine.
