Regions explained Clare Valley

The Clare Valley is one of Australia’s oldest wine regions, lying in the mid north of South Australia approximately 120km north of Adelaide. Within this idyllic, romantic terrain can be found some of the greatest names in Australian wine. Considered by many to offer the greatest concentration of premium Riesling in Australia, it is a cool-climate varietal-rich area capable of creating world-beating wines. Here, Riesling, Chardonnay, Fiano, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo are cultivated to name but a few. Clare offers a delightfully modern take, retaining the freshness and structure of the Old World, but also adding a density and richness much more akin to the New. The best of both worlds? We think so!
