Wine Description
Nestled within the picturesque Stanley Flat region of 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.
Fresh and welcoming, it unveils aromas of lemon and green apple, accentuated by subtle notes of lemon blossom. It presents a linear profile with delightful grapefruit, quince and lemongrass. This light-bodied and elegant wine boasts a fine structure, offering good line and length. Its delicately graceful nature leaves you craving another sip.
