Their top shelf muscats are to die for! A lot of money for a small bottle, but outstanding depth, richness, complexity and taste. Worth every cent! Try some!!
We've been visiting Buller's in Rutherglen for about 33 years and are devotees of their old Muscats and Tokays, which we also buy regularly in Melbourne. We also enjoy the bird aviaries. Unfortunately, this visit disappointed in two ways. Firstly, the one girl serving was more interested in eating her lunch than helping customers. Secondly, the cellar door prices were high. For example the Fine Old Tokay was $24 at cellar door, but $15.99 in the local Rutherglen IGA bottleshop and we can buy it anytime for $17.90 in Melbourne. I am happy with cellar doors being a little more to cover service costs, but this much - and for poor service?We'll still be drinking Buller fortifieds - we still regard them as some of the best, but won't necessarily visit the cellar door on our next visit.
We decided to call in to Buller's mainly for the bird park and not their wine (can you believe it, I can't). The bird park was interesting enough, but badly in need of some attention. A 2 metre snake out sunning itself soon brought the tour to a halt. Needed to taste their wines after that little experience. Found them to be representative of the area style, without setting the world on fire. Maybe the snake episode had mucked up my palate.
Great cellar door with table wines that are continually improving. The muscat, tokay and vintage port are however the stars of the show. If you like your fortifieds (or table wine) this is a must visit.
Arrived on a cool damp afternoon and were the only visitors at the time.Our hostess was a Buller family member and the service was outstanding. Have enjoyed Bullers wines over the years and the quality is always up with the best. Nice facilities and well worth the visit
We were served by a knowledgeable man who had a somewhat aloof manner but warmed over time to be actually very pleasant.We enjoyed his commentary on the wines as well as of course, the wines themselves. I was most impressed with the Shiraz varieties that peaked with the top two options. Very nice wines and well worth a visit here.
Went to Rutherglen last weekend with three friends, Buller wines was the stand out for us. Our Hostess was great, and we were blown away by the wines, the shiraz was to die for! we all bought a few bottles! We will definatly be returning. delicious!!
Professional and friendly lady providing wine tasting. Knew the product well. Shame the bird park looks a bit neglected.
I think the lady serving the tastings had a bad day and was most unwelcoming. The sparking was warm and the merlot was corked.
The lady who served us was really pleasant & attentive. She also knew the history of the vineyard. This place had a larger variety of fortified wines than other places we went to.
