Clericus

Clericus is the Roman origin of Clark and is associated with Roman scholars. Clark Estate reserves only our finest wines to carry the name Clericus. These are wines made with love and passion. They tell a story of our land, our vines and our dedication to making great wine. Intelligent use of oak and indigenous yeast have created wines of wonderful harmony and balance.

As the Roman Empire spread, so did the evolution of viticulture around Europe. Vineyards were created in the best locations and wines were made using only the basic ingredients.

The Clericus wines are crafted with the same philosophy of using grapes from the most premium sites and using only nature to ferment the wines. Each wine is made to represent both the sense of place and also the origin of the grape itself. Only once the wine is in perfect balance will it be bottled and left to age slightly before being released.

Individual rows are chosen by hand and each parcel of fruit is carefully selected and kept separate throughout the winemaking process to preserve the unique flavours. Indigenous fermentations and time on lees allow subtle earthy flavours and a lovely texture to develop. The wines are rich and complex with a perfect amount of oak used in every wine to compliment the style.

The Clericus wines consist of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir.
