"Clair de Lune" when translated from its original
French means "Light of the Moon".
The late French composer Claude Debussy created a magnificent
piano piece, Clair de Lune. It has a beautiful, timeless and
enduring quality and consequently was the source of
inspiration for naming our vineyard and wines.
Clair de Lune's goal is to create wines of great finesse and
elegance that will be enjoyed and celebrated by the wine and
food fraternity thereby promoting our future.
Clair de Lune Vineyard and Winery is located not far from the
ocean but far enough inland to experience a continental
climate ideal for grape-growing.

2016 Vintage Sparkling Chardonnay Tasting
Notes
We have 2016 sparkling chardonnay that has been
resting on its lees for the past three-and-a-half years and it is
currently disgorging in Melbourne. It should be available for
purchase by the middle of September 2020.
The base wine has been made from premium Chardonnay grapes that
have undergone a secondary fermentation in the bottle in the
traditional French manner with extended lees (yeast) development
occurring. This has resulted in a sparkling that offers bready,
yeasty, doughy characters on the nose and palate.
Conglomerate cork 750ml
Price per bottle: $30.00
2016 Super Moon Oaked Chardonnay Tasting
Notes
This wine has had an extensive maturation period (two and a half
years) in new and old French oak and displays a gorgeous golden
colour. Subtle aromatics are followed by a surprisingly big mouth
feel, with a palate of overt oak and medium fruit flavours.
Screw cap 750ml
Price per bottle: $30.00
Closed on Thursdays
Clair de Lune Vineyard advises that we are now closed for
business on Thursdays.
