Clovely Estate
About
As a family-owned business with long standing ties to the South Burnett, we are passionate for championing the quality of Queensland wine and sustainable, local produce. At our winery, we process grapes and wine for both the Clovely Estate brand and under contract for a number of successful Queensland wine brands. Our city cellar door brings beautiful locally-produced wine and cellar door ambiance to city folk that might otherwise be a bit too busy to visit our South Burnett vineyard every weekend. Here we offer our full range of wines for purchase, guided wine tastings, functions, weddings, winemaker's dinners and even a bit of catering, thanks to some great chefs on board as well.

Winemaker
Although a Sunshine Coast girl at heart Sarah graduated from La Trobe University in Melbourne in 2004 and has since worked in numerous wineries all over Australia including Delatite, Rosemount, Pipers Brook and Coldstream Hills. She also has many overseas vintages under her belt including Napa Valley, Canada, France, New Zealand and even Mexico.
Sarah and her partner Stefano joined us at Clovely Estate in 2013 and she is excited to have moved back close to home, and to now be a part of our fantastic Queensland wine industry. She is passionate about showing to Australia how great South Burnett wine really is!
Stefano Radici:
Stefano is Italian born and completed his degree at The University of Milan. After graduating he travelled abroad to Napa, France and to New Zealand – where he met Sarah, and then to Mexico and back to Italy, before joining us the Clovely team.
He brings new perspective and experience to the winemaking process and is eager to work with our many new alternate varieties including his home countries Nebbiolo, Sangiovese and Barbera among others.

Estate Vineyards / AVA
Low humidity, basalt over limestone soil structure, constant water supply and relatively cool nights ensure the outstanding quality of the wine we produce.
