Pt Leo Estate is a large winery that offers wine tasting experience. The outside landscape is breathtaking with beautiful large unique sculptures. Thee is a great selection of wine, that is nicely stocked and available for purchase.
Given the elegance of the setup inside the main hall, I have instantly raised the bar. My eyes are set on the wine tasting area with 2 counters on each side of the drink bar.
There are 3 options for wine tasting:-
$15 for Estate Wine
$25 for Red Wine
$30 for premium wine.
The Estate Wine option is for 3 white wine, one rose and one red wine.
I opted for the red wine option that offers 5 different wine to taste: 3 Pinot Noir of 2019, 2020 and 2021, 2 Shiraz of 2021 and 2023.
I am expecting to have a knowledgeable host pouring each wine into the glass, explaining the variety, ageing process and characteristics. I had none of that, or at most a dull murmur of what he was pouring into the glass, with a straight poker-face expression, depressed and devoid of energy, too tired to go though any explanations.
He has taken away my urge to swirl the glass and bring the glass to my nose to savour any aroma. I was left with sipping my wine fast enough in order not to look at the barman. It was that painful.
Hopefully, you will find a more vivid host with some energy for you to gain a deeper appreciation of craftsmanship and passion that goes into each bottle, and making your every sip of wine more meaningful.
My star review is for the wine that is quite descent. Not great, but worth a try.
