Pulling from the idea of Claret wine, this blend has a LOT going on and with great care going into it’s production. Recommend slight chill and decanting!
Tasting Notes: Plums, blueberries, tart dark cherries, followed by grippy tannin but leaving a lovely light mouthfeel at the end.

Producer Profile
The Koerner brothers, Damon and Jono, are on a mission to bring the classic wine styles of the Clare Valley into the modern day. They play with a mix of ‘classic’ Clare Valley varieties such as Riesling, Cabernet and Malbec and a suite of alternate varieties that show a different side of this iconic Australian wine region. With fruit sourced from their own family vineyard and a move toward more contemporary winemaking, utilising terracotta and ceramic for fermenting and making as little additions as possible in the winery, it’s easy to see why their star is on the rise.
