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
