Damon Koerner is exploring a new face of the Clare Valley. Looking at working with sustainable growers, making wines with little interference and diving into a world of new varieties for the region.
Here's a new kid on the Clare Valley block. Sciaccarello (Shak-ar-ello) is an Italian red skinned grape, originating from Corsica. It's known for being perfumed, vibrant and rarely seen as a solo variety, traditionally blended away.
Here the Koerners make it sing. It's a light-bodied red with serious charisma.
Frisky and fresh feeling with a unique vibe, curious wine drinkers looking for interesting light-bodied reds should walk this way.
"It’s a light yet structured red wine, typically a few rungs up the ladder from rosé styles, but wholly its own thing. Drunk with a chill it soars... It stretches out taut and long, finishing very refreshing. Serious rosé or precise light red, you choose, but it’s a ripper any which way."
