Cloof Wine Estate Take Centre Stage at The Tank Room

9 – 10 January 2026

This past weekend, we had the pleasure of hosting Cloof Wine Estate at The Tank Room for a tasting that brought the bold energy of the Darling region to the room.

Guests explored a curated selection of Cloof’s distinctive wines, each one known for its vibrant personality, rich flavours, and playful edge.

From crisp, fruit-forward whites to powerful, expressive reds, every glass reflected Cloof’s adventurous approach to winemaking and their ability to balance fun with quality.

Thirty-seven wine lovers gathered to taste six standout wines, enjoying the variety and character that have made Cloof a favourite among wine lovers.

Using a trusted 5-point Likert scale, guests shared their impressions, offering valuable insight into the character and quality of each pour.

3 Wines stood out above the rest, each earning a score of 4 and above:

• Very Sexy Shiraz 2024

• Zonin Prosecco Cuvee Brut N/V

• The Dark Side 2024

The verdict was clear: the top-performing wines of the evening impressed with their intensity, balance, and unmistakable Cloof character. What began as a tasting became a lively celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and the joy of sharing great wine together.

Here’s to many more evenings filled with flavour, laughter, and great company, one glass at a time.
