THORN-CLARKE SHOTFIRE QUARTAGE BAROSSA VALLEY
When the Clarke forbears discovered gold in 1870 at the Lady Alice mine in the Barossa goldfields, so began a family dynasty intrigued by geology. A fine legacy that is reflected today in the terroir of our vineyards. The Shotfire range immortalises the Shotfirer’s hazardous job of setting and lighting the charges.
