WINEMAKER: Jono Koerner
REGION: Clare Valley, SA
VARIETY: Vermentino
VITICULTURE: Organic/Sustainable
Back in 2009 Anthony Koerner was researching Mediterranean grape varieties that could potentially grow well in the Clare Valley climate, he concluded that Vermentino was the one he was going to plant. Vermentino has proven to grow very well in Clare, it is resilient, doesn’t need much water, it crops well, all while producing incredible layers of flavour. Anthony’s nick name is Albert and this is where the name of this wine comes from.
The nose is floral, with beautiful white spice and a touch of honey dew melon. On the pallet zippy lemon mixed with a mouth-watering saline minerality, the texture is silky and crisp, the typical Watervale acid back bone drives the wine. It is drinking well now but will only get better with a few years!
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.
