Koerner Wine, founded by brothers Damon and Jono Koerner, reflects a deep-rooted passion for winemaking shaped by their upbringing in the Clare Valley. Their portfolio spans three distinct labels—Koerner Wine, LEKO Wine, and Brothers Koerner—focusing on wines from the Clare Valley and Adelaide Hills. With a philosophy rooted in expressing terroir, they emphasize organic practices, precise vineyard management, and careful timing of harvests. Their wines are known for being light, fresh, and approachable, showcasing a minimalist approach that highlights the essence of each variety and site.
Koerner Wine combines traditional and lesser-known grape varieties, creating wines that are textured, aromatic, and easy-drinking. Their Clare Valley vineyards, including the family-owned Gullyview and neighboring Parish and Vivian sites, lie within close proximity, ensuring consistent quality. By integrating their LEKO and Brothers Koerner ranges, they further explore regional diversity and cool-climate expressions, staying true to their low-intervention ethos.
