Winery Background
Established in 1893, Brand’s Laira is a historic winery located in the heart of Coonawarra, South Australia, a region renowned for its exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. The name "Laira" pays homage to Captain Stentiford, an English sea captain who was drawn inland by the fertile soils of Coonawarra. The Clipper range is inspired by the 'City of Adelaide,' a British-built clipper ship that made 23 annual voyages between London and Adelaide from 1864. This collection reflects the winery’s commitment to producing wines that embody the rich heritage and terroir of Coonawarra.
