Since explorer John Horrocks planted Grenache in Penwortham in 1840 and the Jesuit Brothers founded Sevenhill Cellars for sacramental wine in 1851, the Clare Valley has remained under the radar in the wine world.

The Clare Valley is a series of valleys and historic villages, all easily explored among rolling vineyards and undulating hills that rise high above the valley floor. Clare Valley has 5,060 hectares of vineyards (1056-hectares Riesling, 1886-hectares of Riesling, 1135-hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon and 983-hectares)
