Welcome to Greg Cooley Wines, one of the smaller boutique wine producers here in Clare. Proudly family owned and operated you’ll find us both Greg and Kelli behind the counter doing your tastings. Our wines are designed with food, family and friends in mind and like Greg, have an unerring knack for delighting and surprising the audience.
Conveniently located on the main road at the Northern end of Clare and just off The Riesling Trail, we regularly host live music events on weekends often with local restaurants or food trucks catering. For more information you can check out our Facebook page to see what’s happening while you’re in Clare.
Our wines:
In 2002 we released our first wine. Since then, the range has grown significantly both in style and appeal. We focus on key Clare varieties of Riesling, Shiraz and Cabernet and many of our wines are a mix of reserve or blended wines of each of these varieties.
Grapes are sourced from a range of local growers from both the Clare Valley and Adelaide Hills wine regions and across the board they are easy drinking wines approachable in youth yet delightful with age.
Our wines are by choice sold direct to consumer only. But perhaps the best way to sum up our wines is to say that while we make a lot of wines, we don’t make a lot of wine. So total production is generally 2,500 cases and for some wines as little as 100 dozen might be made.
Each of Greg’s wines are named after people who’ve been of influence on him over the years and their influence is as varied as the wine styles. From South Australian author Monica Mc Inerney to his ex-wife Laura, or Greyhound vet Graham Beh, they each have a story, and Greg is only too happy to share them with you.
Our full range includes:
SPARKLING: Bubbles, Sparkling Shiraz and Moscato
WHITES: Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Rose
REDS: Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Merlot Cabernet-Franc, GSM, Grenache, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon
FORTIFIEDS: Muscat, Fortified Shiraz (VP)
