Callatoota is unusual for several reasons:
- The wines are made only from fruit grown in the Callatoota vineyard.
- The Estate is completely self sufficient, having its own
equipment for every operation from harvesting to
bottling and labelling.
- Most of the wines are matured in large American oak
casks for up to two years before being bottled in the winery.
- After being bottled, the wines are matured for several
years in the underground cellars before release.
- Visitors to the cellar door are looked after by
John Cruickshank or his partner Laurie Nicholls.
