Domain Day
Domain Day is recognised for its premium vinegars and vino cotto. Robin’s experience as a vintner enables him to create truly great products at his vineyard in Mount Crawford. This vineyard is reputed to be the highest altitude vineyard in the Barossa, at 450 metres above sea level, he may just be right.
The location of the vineyard provides the perfect temperatures, giving his grapes an improved flavour for a superior product. Robin’s products include vino cotto, white wine, red wine and balsamic vinegar, the perfect pantry staple. He has also just introduced figs in a sticky balsamic glaze and has plans to launch more products soon!
