Shut the Gate is a Clare Valley wine producer making single-site wines from the Clare Valley and broader South Australia, with a particular focus on varieties suited to Clare's high-altitude limestone soils and warm-days/cool-nights diurnal range. The range includes Riesling (Clare Valley's signature variety) alongside less common South Australian plantings Barbera, Fiano reflecting an interest in varieties that thrive in warm, dry continental conditions.

Clare Valley Riesling is one of the benchmarks for Australian white wine: high natural acidity, lime and slate minerality in youth, developing petrol and toasty complexity with age. Shut the Gate's single-site approach focusing on individual vineyard blocks rather than regional blending positions the range within the artisan, terroir-expressive tier of the Clare Valley producer landscape. For programmes wanting to demonstrate the depth of Australian white wine beyond Chardonnay and Pinot Gris, Clare Valley Riesling from a single-site producer is the most compelling argument.
