We are pleased to present to you today what we believe to be the defining Clare Valley label of our generation - the wonderfully eclectic and extremely delicious wines of Damon and Jono Koerner.
The Koerner boys grew up in the Clare Valley but draw on a wide spectrum of cultures and experiences to craft their three distinct labels. Old-school Clare Valley fuses with Italian influences and French nuances in Damon's winemaking. He is fastidious and precise in his craft, with one foot in the minimal intervention camp and one in the classic.
Huge oak foudres as well as ceramic and concrete eggs are used to house the wines, bringing to life the essence of the home and neighbouring vineyards that the Koerner's work with. Every effort is made to preserve the freshness and unique personality of these vineyards, with oak decidedly taking a back seat. In short, these are the kind of wines that make us salivate - they walk the perfect line of cerebral and thirst-crushing, as all of our favourite wines do.
The 2022 vintage release of the Koerner label has never seen higher praise from critics both in Australia and abroad. These are thrilling, moreish wines that are unlike anything else in the region and we're certain this is the Koerner's best release to date.
"I cannot think of a range of wines that has had such a profound impact on me... I would urge everyone who reads this piece of track every one of these wines down - they are a genuine treat."
- Matthew Jukes
If you want lively, easy drinking at just $28 a bottle the Brothers Koerner range has you covered. Spanning bright and crunchy Grenache and blends through to cuddly Adelaide Hills Chardonnay and Shiraz - these Tuesday-night-tipples deliver great bang for your buck. You can even find a delicious little red in a box!
The heart of their range, though, are the Koerner Wines. With fruit from their parent's farm and a couple of neighbours, they make two of the country's very finest examples of Vermentino and some of the region's most scintillating expressions of Riesling.
There are fascinating reds made from classic Clare varieties such as Cabernet, Malbec, Grenache et. al. and some Italian/Corsican rogues like Sangiovese and Sciacarello that give an exotic twist to these Clare Valley staples.
If you want elite Clare Cabernet or Riesling, you can find it here, but you can also find a range of joyful, colourful alternative varieties that are some of the most exciting this country has to offer.
