Overview

Winery: Thorn Clarke - Terra Barossa

"The Thorn Clarke Terra Barossa Merlot was aged for 12 months in tight grain French and American oak. Medium red in color. The nose is a lifted with attractive spice and mint. The palate is medium weight but full flavored with sweet plum and cherry fruits. The ripe tannins are typical of Merlot, being soft and slightly chalky and are well integrated. There wine finishes with amazing length of fruit cake and dark chocolate."

The Thorn Clarke Terra Barossa 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 Terra Barossa Vineyards

Terra Barossa pays tribute to the rich, fertile soils of the region which contribute to wines of such great character. The free draining soil structure combined with the continental climate of warm days and cool nights enables them to produce elegant wines with good varietal character.
