Jeanneret Wines

Jeanneret Wines was established in 1992 by the Jeanneret family who were led heart first into the regions’ vineyards. A passion for making wines purely for their own enjoyment organically expanded into a business and the Jeanneret cellar door was opened in October 1994. Headed up by self-taught Winemaker, Ben Jeanneret, our ethos is to produce generous wines full of flavour to be enjoyed amongst friends. Ben has perfected the art and is regarded as one of the leading winemakers of Clare Valley and was named one of the “Ten Dark Horses” by James Halliday. The business has continued to grow, change and innovate, but one thing has always remained the same – to make great wines from local grapes.

We have two vineyards located in the Armagh Valley of north-western Clare, run with an organic philosophy to maintain the integrity of the vines. For more than two decades, our 60 acres of low yielding and well-manicured vines have been producing Shiraz, Cabernet and Malbec. Beneath these vines is a combination of clay and sandy loam soils. We also have long term relationships with local grape growers and – quite like a marriage – we’ve been through thick and thin together and are still going strong.

Our philosophy is simple and straight to the point, to make the best wines possible. We’re not one for trends or rules, we just make what we love. Our wines are generous in flavour and quality. Charismatic and spirited. Our motto ‘naturally perfect’ reflects our passion to make each of our wines a true expression of the time and place from which they come.
