Simply Wines

In 1993, we started from humble beginnings where the first vintages of wines were processed on the front porch of the cottage. The winery has steadily grown over the years and production has moved to a state-of-the-art facility in nearby Leasingham in 2000.

The Clare Valley is famed for its Rieslings, Shiraz and Cabernets. What diffrentiates the Clare from many other Australian wine regions are the dry, hot summer days and cool, crisp nights which contribute to the intensity of the flavours in Clare Valley fruit - The philosophy is to produce low volumes of premium, hand-made wines from this unique fruit.

The vineyards, located in Leasingham and Watervale are non-irrigated, depending solely on rainfall - hence the use of the name "DRY LAND WINES". The terroir is typically rich, red loam over limestone. They yield limited quantities (from 0.5-2.0 tonnes per acre) of small, delicious berries which are hand picked to ensure only the premium fruit is selected to go into our winemaking process.

The chief wine maker is Justin Ardill. More from this winery
