South Australian winery Teakle Wines has announced it will close its doors at the end of March, affecting all its operations including the winery, cellar door and restaurant.
Ben Teakle, the son of industry visionary Peter Teakle and current owner of Teakle Wines, announced the closure on Facebook yesterday.
“Over the past ten years our amazing team has created something truly special – serving incredible food and producing award-winning wine,” he said.
“Running a boutique vineyard and chef-hatted restaurant in a remote location takes an enormous commitment, especially when we’ve set ourselves such high standards. Therefore, I’ve made the very hard decision to call time on Teakle Wines and Line & Label after a decade of achievement.”
The winery rebranded from Peter Teakle Wines to Teakle Wines in February last year, following the unexpected passing of patriarch Peter Teakle in June 2024.
“There’s nothing we would have done differently. I’m so proud of our team and the timing of this means we’re going out on a high. We recently won our seventh chef hat and it’s been a bumper summer. It’s just the right time.
Teakle thanked his staff, suppliers and customers for being a “massive part” in the business’s success. Teakle Wines’ last day of trading will be March 29.
“People have always been at the heart of our story and we couldn’t have done it without you,” said Teakle.
