In 1993 Ian Sanders purchased a section of the Barry family's famed Clare Valley Florita Vineyard and established clos Clare. Coming full circle in 2007, the Barrys bought back the site and today it is run by brothers Tom and Sam Barry.

Located in Watervale, the legendary Florita Vineyard is one of the Clare Valley's oldest plantings and is renowned for its Riesling. clos Clare's small plot in the south-west corner is home exclusively to this variety, dry grown in loamy clay over limestone soils. Watervale's soils and cool mesoclimate also nurture the McKays Vineyard, where they source their Grenache, and the Cemetery Block Vineyard, which provides their Shiraz.

The Clare Valley is the Riesling capital of Australia. clos Clare's signature wine is their Watervale Riesling. Hayes Boy Grenache and Cemetery Block Shiraz complete their offering.
