Clare Valley

Clare Valley is one of Australia's most highly prized wine regions. Riesling here is bright and beautiful, famed for its limey zing and food friendliness. The vineyards are isolated, being naturally protected from nearby maritime influences by the Mount Lofty Range. The area's complex limestone soils and extreme climate are responsible for many of its thrilling varietals. With such a long growing season, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot also perform well in the Clare Valley, producing red wines of impressive definition and structure.
