‘I am Damon Koerner and I grow grapes and make wine from the Clare Valley and Adelaide Hills. I focus on fruit quality and transparent winemaking and am passionate about producing great wine that reflects the place it is grown. Koerner wines are textural, approachable, light, fresh and can be enjoyed young but will also benefit from aging.

In the Clare Valley, all fruit is grown within a 750m radius. This includes our family’s vineyard, Gullyview and our vineyard, Vivian. We also source fruit from close neighbours, Parish. The varieties we focus on from Clare are Riesling, Vermentino, Sangiovese and Cabernet.

In the Adelaide Hills we source grapes from a few select vineyards, predominately around Lenswood. At our home block vineyard in Lenswood, we grow Chardonnay, Gamay and have recently planted Sangiovese and Savagnin. We have also just purchased a beautiful 45 acre property at the top of Lenswood, 600m above sea level, with multiple different aspects. We will begin planting Chardonnay here in 2024.’ - Damon Koerner
