IN BRIEF Essential destination dining for lovers of the local

Textarea
In a shed-like yet stylish black building with unobstructed views over the wines, chef Olly Le Maitre pays respectful homage to the land with a plethora of locally sourced ingredients and even some that have been recently foraged. The service at this vineyard restaurant is unhurried, informed and attentive, as it should be, and the drinks list is naturally home-based and reflective of the wine’s provenance. The trust-the-chef menu is an easy pick in this environment and delivers beautiful morsels of kingfish belly tartare with hazelnut milk and the most amazing pickled fennel. The celeriac carpaccio was delicate and subtle, a sublime dish of roasted beetroot with peach custard demanded bread to soak up its sensational juices and we made short work of a substantial portion of barbecued lamb rump with quince caramel and charred Jerusalem artichoke. Formed around a deep appreciation of the land and sea in this region, these are considered, clever dishes unlikely to be found on other menus.
