Leigh Clarnette and Kym Ludvigsen, wine-making and viticulture veterans of the industry, established Clarnette & Ludvigsen in 2006. This achieved by using their combined 70 years experience to produce some seriously good wines which reflect the local Grampians Wine Region. Currently Clarnette & Ludvigsen wines produce a Shiraz, Chardonnay, and most recently a Riesling; www.clarnette-ludvigsen.com.au/shop

There are worse places to spend a Sunday. We’re set up at the Willow & Stone Estate Open Day today in Ballarat — pouring through the Clarnette range while couples explore one of Ballarat’s most special wedding venues.
Come wander through, taste something you love, and stay a while. 🍷

Some moments don't need much. A long table, good people, and a red worth lingering over.

Happy Good Friday from us. Hope yours looks something like this. 🍷

Hot take: the best wine you'll drink this Easter won't come from a bottle you've heard of before. 👀

Check out this photo form a bottle shop in Oslo, Norway I took in August 2025.

We make wines that are natural, clean, and honest about where they come from.

No fuss. No pretension. Just good wine made by someone who's spent 40 years learning how to do it properly.

That's the Clarnette way. 🌿

Shiraz gets all the attention in Australia — and fair enough, it's brilliant here.

But have you tried a Grampians Nebbiolo? Or a Great Western Tempranillo?

Same region, totally different experience. Lighter, more aromatic, built for the table rather than the couch.

If you've never explored beyond Shiraz, you're missing half the story. 🍷

Autumn in Victoria hits different. 🍂

Cooler evenings, long lunches, fires starting to get lit again. It's officially the best time of year to open a red.

There's a name on some of our labels that means a lot to us — Ludvigsen.

Kym Ludvigsen was the viticulturist who co-founded this brand alongside winemaker Leigh Clarnette back in the early days. He passed away in 2013, but his name lives on in the wine.

Some bottles carry more than just grape varieties and vintage years. 🍷

🌄 Did you know the Grampians has been producing world-class wine since the 1860s?

It's one of Victoria's most underrated wine regions — cooler nights, ancient soils, and a style that's distinctly its own. Best’s Wines Concongella Vineyard was planted in 1866 and the Seppelt Great Western vineyard was first planted in 1863.

We've been sourcing from here for years, and honestly? We don't think it gets the credit it deserves.

What's your favourite Australian wine region? 👇

Bottling week prep is underway! 🍷🙌

It's a warm day in the winery, but lamb chops, some salalds and a glass of Shiraz at the end of it? Absolutely worth it. 🔥🥩

Great wine is coming your way very soon. Watch this space. ✨

Honoured to receive 92/100 from Huon Hooke at The Real Review for our 2024 Grampians Shiraz 🍷

"The palate is intense and precise, with energy and refinement, lifted and carried by refreshing and energising acidity. A smart cool-climate syrah-style shiraz." — Huon Hooke, The Real Review

The cool climate of the Grampians brings something special to our Shiraz, and we're grateful this vintage captures what makes this region so distinctive.
