Our Review
The Collett family is among the best known in McLaren Vale, the late Doug Collett AM was known for his World War II exploits flying Spitfires and Hurricanes with the RAF and RAAF, returning to study oenology at Roseworthy Agricultural College and rapidly promoted to take charge of SA’s largest winery, Berri Co-operative. In 1973 he purchased the Woodstock estate, built a winery and in ’74 he crushed its first vintage. Son Scott Collett, once noted for his fearless exploits in cars and on motorcycles, became winemaker in ’82 and has won numerous accolades; equally importantly, he purchased an adjoining shiraz vineyard planted circa 1900 (now the source of The Stocks Shiraz) and a bush-vine grenache vineyard planted in ’30. Exports to most major markets. -JAMES HALLIDAY

Food
Information
WOODSTOCK Coterie, built in 1988, was designed to nestle among the towering century-old gum trees. The design took into consideration the location of each of these amazing native trees. Not one significant tree was cut down to accommodate building the restaurant. Hence, the Coterie’s unique semicircle shape. Rammed earth walls encase the dining area, providing a warm feel and at the same time complementing the Coterie’s unique, quintessentially Australian landscape.
Cuisine
Woodstock’s Executive Chef Chris Bone brings a food philosophy of honest, seasonal and skilful dishes, showcasing the best locally and ethically sourced ingredients and attentive execution.
