What a weekend! 🍷

Red Series Ballarat wrapped up on Saturday and we couldn't be happier. Two incredible days in a stunning venue, pouring our Grampians reds for genuinely curious, enthusiastic wine lovers.

Our winemaker Leigh was behind the table the whole weekend, sharing the story behind each bottle. On the pour: 2024 Grampians Shiraz, 2023 Nebbiolo, 2023 Durif and 2024 Tempranillo — plus a couple of white surprises that had people coming back for more. 🌸

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, tasted, chatted and took a bottle (or a few) home. This is exactly why we love what we do.

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. 🍷
