The Thorn Clarke Estate

The winery owners are David and Cheryl Clarke (born Thorn) and their son Sam is the manager of the winery. The Thorn-Clarke family has a long history in the Barossa - six generations of involvement in the region's world famous wine industry. The Thorns have been grape growers in the Barossa since the 1870's. David Clarke's passion for the wine industry lead to the planting of the Kabininge vineyard outside of Tanunda in 1987, which represents the start of a deeper involvement by the family in the Barossa wine industry.

The Thorn Clarke Vineyards

Eden Valley is one of Australia's oldest and most respected white wine regions, and within the Eden Valley the Mount Crawford block is recognized for its particularly cold climate. The cooler conditions of this sub-region, combined with nutrient-poor residual soils and a northern aspect, create an environment ideal for growing white grape varieties. Vines are restricted from growing too vigorously or ripening too quickly ensuring the grapes develop wonderful flavor and character.
