"Koerner Wine was established in 2014 with the intent to make unique wine from the Clare Valley. The wines are mainly produced from our family vineyard, Gullyview. We also source fruit from neighbouring vineyards, Parish and Vivian. All fruit is grown within a 750m radius. With a focus on fruit quality and transparent winemaking, our wines are textural and approachable, light, fresh, and ultimately easy drinking." - Jono Koerner
