Nestled within the picturesque Stanley Flat region of the renowned Clare Valley, you'll find Calcannia. Our name draws its inspiration from the road that gracefully winds alongside the vineyard, epitomizing our connection to the land. Located just 6 kilometers north of the township of Clare, and adjacent to the serene Hutt River, the vineyard basks in perfect conditions for crafting wines of exceptional quality.

The 2023 vintage in the Clare Valley was notably cooler than usual, contributing to a gradual and uniform ripening process. This distinct summer weather offered a welcome departure from the typical hot spells experienced. The slower maturation and milder conditions yielded wines with pronounced fruit-forward qualities and distinct character.

Expert Reviews

It's elegant and delicately aromatic on the nose, showing green pear, fig and lime zest aromas, leading to a juicy palate that's finely textured and lively. Brilliantly structured by vibrant acidity, finishing persistent and mouth-watering. At its best: 2026 to 2035.
