"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.

What's Happening at Clair de Lune

News from the Vineyard....

The majority of the fruit has been picked and the wine made. This Tuesday will be the final day of picking the shiraz.

The cropping rates have been lower than in other years, due to the poor weather conditions throughout the growing season. However, the quality of fruit is really good.

News from the Winery....

New Red Wines!

Both the 2010 Shiraz and the Pinot Noir are now in the bottle and available for purchase.

More information about these two wines is on the Our Wines page.

What's for dinner on Saturday April 21st?

Clair de Lune has been invited to be part of a wine and food offering at Oscar's Hangout, 11 Hall Mark Rd, Mordialloc with a 6:30pm start this Saturday April 21st. Full details and bookings can be obtained by ringing owners Brad and Carly on 03 9580 9941.
