Chris, our principal winemaker, was driven by a fundamental question: What distinguishes great wines from good ones? This curiosity spurred the brothers to delve deep into the intricacies of winemaking. Thus, Cael’s Gate Wines was born.
As a family business, we prioritise quality above all else. We believe that enjoying wine should be a delightful experience. While it may sound cliché to attribute our success to meticulous attention to detail, that’s precisely why our wines stand out. We meticulously oversee every aspect of the winemaking process to ensure consistent quality year after year.
At Cael’s Gate, our focus lies in cultivating low-yielding vines and ensuring grape maturity to maximize fruit quality. By maintaining low-yielding vines, we channel more energy into fewer grape clusters. This approach enables us to produce wines characterized by complexity and balance, derived from harvesting grapes at precisely the right level of ripeness and maturity. Achieving this optimal level of maturity demands diligent vineyard care, ample time, and abundant sunshine.
