Paulett Wines

About this Cellar

The cellar door has become one of the ‘must see’ places in the Clare Valley, often described as having the most spectacular view from any cellar  door in the country.

The range of wines produced has grown over the years. In addition to the staples of Shiraz and Riesling there is a Late Harvest Riesling, Trillians Sparkling Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz, Cabernet & Malbec blend and a Cabernet Merlot. The constant refinement and attention to detail has led to the very high quality across this significant body of work.

Since the first vintage in 1983 there have been many accolades received from within Australia and internationally including the great 1995 vintage winning both the Top Riesling at the Hyatt/Advertiser awards and Best Riesling in the Penguin Good Australian Wine Guide.  More recently Paulett Wines was announced a 5 red star winery by James Halliday with the Antonina Riesling and Andreas Shiraz being awarded 96 and 95 points (Australian Wine Companion 2010).  When asked about these accolades Neil said “This kind of recognition against all-corners is particularly rewarding however there is just as much of a thrill walking into a restaurant seeing people enjoying a bottle of our wine”.

Pauletts reputation for producing wines of finesse, elegance and intensity is justly earned and their skill and care can be seen consistently from vintage to vintage. Neil has a craftsman’s sensibilities coupled with over 35 years experience making wine – and it all shows. The current release wines have a touch more roundness and generosity than previously and it’s these subtle on-going improvements that have kept Pauletts at the forefront of Australian wine.
