2023 Gullyview Estate Countryside Cabernet Sauvignon

WINEMAKER: Jono Koerner
REGION: Clare Valley, SA
VARIETY: Cabernet Sauvignon
VITICULTURE: Organic/Sustainable

Countryside Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine that reflects the Clare Valley countryside – think Aussie outback, dusty, gumtree’s, beautiful and laid back.

On the nose you get fresh herbs and plums which carry through to the palate, along with blueberries and some subtle red fruits. These are complemented with a touch of earthiness, combined with gentle, velvety tannins. This wine is a happy medium body and not to heavy – perfectly balanced. A great representation of Clare Valley Cabernet.

Anthony and Christine Koerner bought ‘Gullyview Vineyards’ on 15 May 1987. Today they are producing some of Australia’s highest quality grapes. In 2023 son Jono Koerner and partner Megan Jenkin established ‘Gullyview Estate’ which pays homage to Christine and Anthony’s hard work through carefully crafted wines that reflect the place in which they call home. The Estate is 70 hectare in total and is located in Leasingham (Watervale) Clare Valley. Jono and Megan only use a small portion of the fruit and the grapes used for the wines they make are chosen from a handful of select sites to best showcase the terroir and variety characteristics. The vineyard is mostly Terra Rossa soils, red clay over limestone, so all the wines have a beautiful underlinging minrality.
