Koerner Wine is the collaboration of brothers Damon and Jonathan Koerner, crafting wines from the Clare Valley and Adelaide Hills, with much of the fruit sourced from their family’s Gullyview vineyard—tended by their parents for nearly four decades.
Bringing a fresh perspective to these classic regions, the Koerner brothers combine established varieties with more adventurous Mediterranean plantings, bridging the gap between tradition and the natural wine movement.
Their philosophy is simple: great wine is made in the vineyard. Early picking and a hands-off approach in the winery result in wines that are light, fresh, textured, and highly drinkable.
The Leko Blanc is a perfect expression of this approach—an Adelaide Hills wine that captures the energy and character of this new wave of minimal-intervention, skin-contact styles.
