White Gate Wine Co.
White Gate Wine Co. was founded by Chad and Georgia Connolly, who set out to frame the Barossa in a more elegant light, with earlier picking, plenty of whole bunch for reds and a minimal intervention approach. Working loosely with growers or leasing vineyards, the Connollys aim is to make wines they love to drink, elegant, balanced and light on their feet. They currently make varietal syrah, grenache, cabernet sauvignon and petit sirah (durif), as well as a blend of semillon and riesling, but there’s plenty more in the pipeline.
