23.01.2022 Getting ready to squish and squeeze these juicy little numbers. Harvest 2020 is commencing this week and it will be our 10th vintage for the Watervale and Skilly Valley Rieslings. 2019 brought plenty of bling for both these wines, but hey, no pressure! #clareriesling #harvest2020 #pennalanewines

23.01.2022 We're all looking for a way forward at the moment. We've had to close our Cellar Door, but our online store remains open 24/7. For the foreseeable future, we've taken 15% off all the wines on our website and waived all freight charges within Australia. So you can order online, get wine delivered to your door, and stay safe. Go to https://pennalanewines.com.au/shop/ to place your order.... #pennalanewines #clarevalleywines #wecangetthroughthis See more

23.01.2022 Don't miss your opportunity to buy all our current wines at less 15% and freight free (within Australia). Go to our online store to place your orders - https://pennalanewines.com.au/shop/ #pennalanewines #autumnhues #staysafedrinkwell

22.01.2022 We're excited about a gold medal at the Sydney Royal Wine Show, for our 2018 Watervale Riesling. Peter caught up with the grower, Anthony Koerner, to celebrate with a glass of the '18 at the Watervale Hotel this week. #sydneyroyalwineshow #sydneyroyal #watervaleriesling #watervalehotel #southaustralianwine #clarevalleyriesling #pennalanewines

22.01.2022 'Nicely shaped, well balanced, appropriately mature' - so says Nick Ryan in his article about Clare Semillon in The Australian on 15th September. We hoped for a moment that he might be talking about the Penna Lane humans, but no, he is actually describing the Penna Lane 2010 Semillon. As you might imagine, this 10 year old semillon is in relatively short supply these days but you can order from the website if you get in quickly - pennalanewines.com.au https://www.theaustralian.com.au//aabf99cf05f42ec347bf31df #claresemillon #australiansemillon #ClareValley #nickryanwine

21.01.2022 Always happy to get positive feedback about our Riesling and our trees!

20.01.2022 And here’s how to get your hands on a range of great Semillon wines...

19.01.2022 The trophy winning 2019 Skilly is one of the 100 Top New Release Wines featured in the February/March issue of Gourmet Traveller WINE Within a selection of only thirty Australian white winesof which fourteen are Rieslingsthe Skilly gets 4 stars and the following notes from Huon Hooke: This is a counterpoint for Penna Lane’s other riesling, from Watervale. The bouquet is talcy, floral and slightly yeasty, the palate restrained, delicate and fine with plenty of vitality and ...a trace of sweetness rendering it more approachable. #clareriesling #gtwine #gtwinerecommended #pennalanewines See more

18.01.2022 We had a happy day at the 2019 Clare Valley Wine Show on Friday 11th October: * The 2019 Penna Lane Skilly Valley Riesling won the Mick Knappstein trophy for Best Current Vintage Riesling * Penna Lane Wines won the trophy for Best Small Producer * The 2019 Skilly Riesling and 2019 Watervale Riesling each won gold in a field of sixty six 2019 Clare Valley Rieslings Woo hoo! ... Both wines are available now online - https://pennalanewines.com.au/shop/ - and from Cellar Door. #ClareValleySA #langtonscvws2019 #pennalanewines #riesling See more

13.01.2022 This wine. The 2019 Skilly Valley Riesling has won an elite gold medal at the Canberra International Riesling Challenge 2019. An elite gold indicates a tasting score of 96 points or more. Add that to the Mick Knappstein trophy from the Clare Wine Show and it's been a big week for the Skilly. #rieslingchallenge #clarevalleysa #riesling #winningwine #pennalanewines

12.01.2022 Breaking news: Penna Lane Cellar Door to remain open for Saturdays and Sundays during February. We were planning to give the Cellar Door bloke a bit of a holiday, but Dave doesn't want to leave. If things are quiet he says he'll be happy with his nose in a book. Call in for a tasting and keep his chapters to a minimum! Cellar Door will return to normal trading days (Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays) from Friday 28th February. #cellardoor #pennalanewines #goodredandwellread

11.01.2022 Right now we're kinda wishing Christmas at Penna Lane looked a bit more like this... Instead of 43 degrees and catastrophic fire conditions on the 20th December... Our Cellar Door will be open - weather permitting - on the following days over the Christmas/New Year period. And let's hope the weather is kinder all over South Australia. Merry Christmas everyone. Sat 21 December 11am - 5pm Sun 22 December 11am - 5pm Thurs 26 December 11am - 5pm... Fri 27 December 11am - 5pm Sat 28 December 11am - 5pm Sun 29 December 11am - 5pm Mon 30 December 11am - 5pm (not open New Year's Eve or New Year's Day) Christmas snow, South Park Wood cc-by-sa/2.0 - Jim Barton - geograph.org.uk/p/1632494 See more

10.01.2022 Pre-lunch winery stop. Lovely Riesling and rose.. just waiting to try the reds.

10.01.2022 The 2018 Watervale Riesling was recently reviewed in Norway's 'Dagbladet' (national newspaper). For those of you who are unable to read Norwegian, we have provided a translation - 'A clean and fresh Riesling at a very good price. Fragrance of apple, pear, melon and peach. Slim fullness and high acidity. Fresh satiated fruit with tropical feel and luscious finish.' A 'slim fullness' is something we are hoping to hang onto over Easter... #pennalanewines #clareriesling #letthewinesdothetravelling #stayhome

09.01.2022 Great news! We will be reopening our Cellar Door for tastings and sales from Friday 3rd July. Call in to taste our 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon and 2017 Shiraz - which were released just before the COVID-19 lockdown - and our award-winning 2019 Skilly Valley Riesling (current holder of the Mick Knappstein Trophy) and the 2019 Watervale Riesling (Gold medal at the 2019 Clare Wine Show); noting that stocks of these two Rieslings are dwindling. #pennalanewines #clareriesling #skillyvalleyriesling #watervaleriesling #mickknappsteintrophy

08.01.2022 Amazing, but true! We received a text today from a very good friend (who also shares an office with us), Sam Auld from Auld Family Wines, who is on holiday in New York. I think Sam's text tells the tale better than we can: 'Pete - very funny interaction we just had. Having dinner at Juliana's pizza in Brooklyn. Bloke on the table next to us kept looking over. Came over and asked me about my Penna cap, he's a Pom and remembered it as the best riesling he's ever had after he tr...ied it in Aus when he was on tour with the Barmy Army. He was star struck and wanted to know if he could get it anywhere near home (Peterborough UK).' Thanks for sharing Sam!

08.01.2022 Here's cheers to Tony and Penny Hogan from the Streaky Bay Hotel - wish we were still there on the wonderful West Coast, tasting wine at 10 o'clock in the morning! We hope to get back sometime and stay in one of their beautifully renovated balcony rooms. Streaky Bay Hotel Motel #SeeSouthAustralia #beautifulwestcoast #pennalanewines

07.01.2022 A frosty start for some of the Cabernet vines this morning... and we're hoping for rain later this week #pennalanewines #winterinclare

06.01.2022 We’re on the list...

03.01.2022 Hard to believe that these 2 photos were both taken in November - the first in 2016 and the second in 2019. What is the missing ingredient that makes all the difference? Rain! It has been sadly lacking in the Clare Valley for the past couple of years. Is definitely at the top of our Christmas wish list.
