The design of the Clarington bottle took several years to perfect and was specifically conceptualised to honour the art of winemaking, by internationally celebrated creative director and designer, Mark Eisen. Eisen is co-owner of the farm with winemaker Johan Viljoen.
The high gloss, organic ink coating, influenced by traditional colour-blocking, is a global patented design and a world first, with each bottle undergoing an intricate five-step process to deliver a vessel that is beautifully designed and visually impactful.
Viljoen has more than 20 years experience in the wine-making business, having worked in some of the top wine regions globally, including France, Italy, Spain, Australia and California.
The creation of the Clarington collection has been a journey of more than eight years, with the result a range consisting of six varietals: a Merlot, a Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot Blend, a Chardonnay, a Chenin Blanc, a Sauvignon Blanc and a Rosé. All the wines are ready to drink immediately.
Viljoen and Eisen, together with partners viticulturist and farm manager Bennie Booysen and marketer Jacques Burger, have translated their commitment to world class wines, uncompromised quality, true craft and impeccable design, into the estate’s iconic wines and Clarington is no exception.
The Clarington range retails at under R100 a bottle. Other wines from Normandie Est. 1693 include Eisen and Viljoen and karen.
