At Queensland Parliament’s Strangers’ Restaurant, we take pride in showcasing the best of Queensland’s food and wine, and Clovely Estate is no exception.
Just a few hours from Brisbane, the South Burnett region is Australia’s most northerly wine region and a standout in Queensland’s wine industry. Its rolling vineyards, fertile soils, and cool evening breezes create the perfect conditions for crafting exceptional wines. At the heart of this region is Clovely Estate, a winery dedicated to producing high-quality, sustainable wines that capture the unique character of the land.
Clovely Estate’s commitment to excellence is evident in every bottle. Their wines, known for their rich flavours and elegant balance, have earned a reputation as some of Queensland’s finest. From the crisp and refreshing 2013 Reserve Blanc de Blanc to the smooth and complex 2021 Monastrell, each wine tells the story of the South Burnett’s unique terroir. Their 2021 Semillon, with its bright citrus notes, is another standout, reflecting the region’s ability to produce world-class whites.
We are proud to showcase Clovely Estate wines on our Strangers’ beverage menu. Thoughtfully paired with our seasonal dishes, these wines enhance the dining experience and highlight the incredible produce Queensland has to offer. The 2021 Semillon is beautifully matched with pickled beetroot, whipped cashew, horseradish, carrot scratching, and cherry vinaigrette (GF, VG, T), complementing the dish’s fresh and vibrant flavours. Meanwhile, the 2021 Monastrell pairs perfectly with Goondiwindi pork tenderloin, crackling, edamame, baby turnip, and mustard sauce (GF, DF), enhancing the rich, savoury elements of the dish.
