Thorn Clarke producer reviews

wa300This successful, reasonably large operation with vineyards dating back to the 1850s offers an assortment of wines under various labels (Milton Park, Terra Barossa, Shotfire Ridge, and William Randall). Their offerings are undeniably seductive, modern-styled, classic South Australian wines exhibiting copious quantities of upfront fruit, full body, and abundant oak. The proprietors claim they "over deliver."

wa300I had loved [Thorn Clarke] values when I was covering Australia. They come from David Thorn and Cheryl Clarke, the latest family members following six generations of vignerons and wine producers in the Barossa Valley, tracing their history back through 1870. Like a number of producers in South Australia, the quality here is extremely high and the prices very consumer-friendly
