Koerner Wine, established by brothers Damon and Jono Koerner, is a testament to a life-long passion for wine, nurtured in the Clare Valley and expanded across Australia and internationally. The brothers' journey in winemaking spans from their roots in the Clare Valley to creating distinctive wines under three brands: Koerner Wine, LEKO Wine, and Brothers Koerner, with a focus on the Clare Valley and Adelaide Hills. Koerner Wine's philosophy is grounded in the belief that wine should reflect its place of origin, emphasising the importance of vineyard management, organic practices, and the critical role of picking dates to capture the essence of each vineyard and variety. Their approach to winemaking is minimalistic, aiming to produce wines that are light, fresh, textured, and approachable, embodying the style the Koerner brothers personally enjoy.
With a focus on both traditional and unique varieties, Koerner Wine strives to stay true to the variety and the vineyard, producing wines that are expressive of their terroir. The vineyards, including the family-owned Gullyview and the neighbouring Parish and Vivian, all within a 750m radius, are the backbone of Koerner Wine's production. These sites are meticulously managed to produce fruit of the highest quality, which is then crafted into wines that are textural, aromatic, and easy drinking. The integration of LEKO Wine and Brothers Koerner under their umbrella allows the Koerner brothers to explore and express the distinct characteristics of the Clare Valley and Adelaide Hills, showcasing their commitment to minimal intervention winemaking and their pursuit of wines that appeal to a broad spectrum of palates.
