Loverly farm, over priced wines – tasted like my first foray into wine making will surely taste.

I must start by admitting that with a name like Rickety, you almost missed the train, but my lady strong-armed me and Elma, my german friend and the experience couldn’t have been more sweet. Though they turn most of their grapes to jams and chutneys, the Chardonnay and the Pinot noir were surprisingly flavourful. Approaching the farm, you get the feeling of heading to the wild wild west. The big fluffy teddy bears surrounding the tasting room make it feel slightly grim, like IT or Chucky grim. More irony is in the big man size bottles the sell at only half price, making you wonder if infact the wine is legit. he-he-he. We walke dout with a case of the Pinot Noir . So it wasn’t that bad.

Disappointing visit. Lots of mini-bus visiters. The tasting room smelling of creosote and staff rushed and unwelcoming. The location and the wine were the best things, so maybe I picked a bad day.

Chenin blanc is not bad

What’s up with all the bears? Every where you look there’s a bear. Our dry sense of humour host, Christian, referred to them as his play mates. They keep him company when the tasting room is empty. Apart from the bears, they had some interesting stuff in the tasting room. I loved the wired mannequin dolls that displayed the t-shirt merchandise. They also had some fabulous decanters and interesting coffee table books.

The wine on the other hand was a bit wild and overpriced. Hug a bear.

Had a very enjoyable lunch here complete with wine tasting. Love their unoaked chardonnay and Paulina Reserve. In a beautiful setting. Was 3 years between visits and they have definitely beome more swish but their wines were as excellent as I remembered
