Claymore Wines is firmly grounded in the Clare Valley, one of Australia’s most respected cool‑climate regions known for its crisp Rieslings, elegant Shiraz and beautifully structured Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate draws fruit from vineyards across Penwortham, Watervale and Auburn, giving them access to a diverse spread of soil types and microclimates, including old‑vine sites with Riesling more than eighty years old. This combination of elevation, geology and vine age builds the purity, tension and freshness that define the region and give Claymore’s wines their unmistakable sense of place.

What sets Claymore apart is the infectious personality woven through everything they do. The brand celebrates the passions of founder Anura Nitchingham, blending wine, music and football into a culture that never takes itself too seriously. Labels nod to iconic albums and artists, and the long‑running connection to Liverpool FC adds a distinctive thread of fandom. The cellar door carries this energy into the tasting experience, offering warm hospitality, live‑music events and a relaxed atmosphere that encourages visitors to explore at their own pace and enjoy the lighter side of wine.

Winemaker Adam Clay brings serious expertise to the operation, combining Len Evans Scholar credentials with experience at key local wineries and a broad mix of international and boutique winemaking. His approach blends modern technique with an intuitive, old‑world sensibility, allowing each vineyard parcel to show its character while maintaining balance and polish across the range. Under his guidance the wines have built upon existing clarity, structure and finesse, and the portfolio reflects both his technical skill and a deep respect for the vineyards and history of Claymore wines.
