Carissa Major of Claymore Wines - there's something magical about Clare Valley

Send us a text

The Clare Valley has always been one of my favourite Australian wine regions. The incredible diversity of the place, from producing some of the world’s best Riesling, to also producing some of the world’s best reds – after all, if you haven’t yet been mesmerised by Clare Valley Shiraz you really need to sort that out – but there is a magic to the place, and I have always wondered what that was all about. So, who better to spill the beans – or the grapes for that matter - than  Carissa Major of Claymore Wines – given that she has championed the Clare Valley for the greater part of 20 years. Carissa’s passion for Clare, Wine and Claymore are invigorating and electrifying and I do not throw those terms around loosely. Carissa joined me to share her story, a girl who would become a leading ambassador for the Clare Valley Region, the story of Claymore Wines and her perspectives on the Clare Valley past present and future – a massive thanks to Carissa for joining me.
