Our Review
Shut the Gate is the venture of Richard Woods and Rasa Fabian, which took shape after 5 years’ involvement in the rebranding of Crabtree Watervale Wines, followed by 18 months of juggling consultancy roles. During this time Richard and Rasa set the foundations for Shut the Gate. The engine room of the business is the Clare Valley, where with considerable care the wines are made and the grapes for many of the wines are sourced. There is a 2nd cellar door in the Snowy Mountains, at 39 Jindabyne Road, Berridale. -JAMES HALLIDAY
