Zerella Wines offers our absolute favourite kind of cellar door experience. The place is small, rustic, and comforting to be in. Wine host, Darius, an absolute fount of wine knowledge, is eager to share his knowledge, passion, and experience. And the wines, oh my goodness the wines. Zeralla somehow draws out all the nuances in its wines, leading to a range that is unusually and exquisitely complex. And Zerella boasts one of the most unique tasting lists in McLaren! From its brioche and marzipan Arneis to a booming 2014 Sangiovese that puts Shiraz on notice to the smoky mocha Cab Sav – such a diversity of wine profiles, and somehow all delicious. Above all, we absolutely loved the wickedly complex 2021 Barbera. A charcuterie board sprinkled with blackberries on the palate. If you are truly passionate about wine, do yourself a favour and check out Zerella.
