COONAWARRA \ Little Black Book

A small strip of land in the heart of the Limestone Coast in South Australia. Together our landscape, our people and our passion, work in harmony to create a signature wine region that delivers on a myriad of levels - producing wines that unmistakably speak of their place and reflect the character of their makers.

It’s a place that gets under your skin, leaving an indelible mark, for those who choose it as home and for those who keep coming back.

We invite you to Take the Time... Visit. Savour. Indulge. You’ll smell it, taste it and experience it for yourself.

COONAWARRA \

Think Coonawarra, and thoughts of sumptuous reds spring to mind – from the rich rust-coloured Terra Rossa soil for which it’s internationally recognized, to the prized red wines that have made it famous.

1 2

There are the ruddy cheeks of those who tend the vines; the crimson sunsets that sweep across a vast horizon; and of course, there’s the fiery passion in the veins of our vignerons and winemakers. Almost a million years ago, an ocean teeming with sea-life lapped at the feet of the ancient Kanawinka Escarpment. Then came an ice age, and the great melt that followed led to the creation of the chalky white bedrock which is the foundation of this unique region.

But nature had not finished, for with her winds, rain and sand she blanketed the plain with a soil rich in iron, silica and nutrients, to become one of the most renowned terroir soils in the world.

Long and narrow, this celebrated ridge of earth, together with pure underground water, cool nights and a long, mild growing season, is nature’s gift to wine lovers across the globe. This precious parcel of land is some of the most valuable agricultural land in the nation, and recognised as Australia’s premier red wine region, contributing fruit to some of the finest wines in the world.

But of course, it took human spirit and ingenuity to bottle it, and like all great appellations, the wines of Coonawarra speak not just of the famous terroir, but also of the local community and people who give these wines their character.

It began in 1890 with John Riddoch’s first plantings of vines, then carried into the next century by the Redman Family, and later by Wynns in 1951. These names are still revered, and their vision and heritage is proudly upheld by the world-class wineries which now call Coonawarra home.

Today, new generations of old winemaking families toil alongside an influx of fresh talent to ensure the spirit of the Coonawarra wine region continues to thrive. It is a community that’s vibrant, passionate, sophisticated and unique – one that honours tradition while embracing innovation and nurturing sustainable viticulture for the future.

At vintage, every picker, cellar-hand and winemaker devotes the same commitment to nurturing each parcel of delicate fruit and crafting them into wines of exceptional distinction that lend themselves perfectly to maturing in the cellar before flowing lusciously from bottle to decanter to glass.

Many of our wines, including our celebrated Cabernet Sauvignon, not only taste exceptional when young, but also cellar brilliantly. The ageability of Coonawarra wines are world class – a fact endorsed by generations of collectors around the world.

Together, our landscape, our people and our passion work in harmony to create a signature wine region that delivers on a myriad of levels. The cool climate Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Chardonnay and Riesling have made Coonawarra one of the New World’s greatest appellations.

Take the time to savour our wines. Smell it, taste it and experience it for yourself.

The Balnaves family settled in the Penola / Coonawarra area in 1855 and have been working in the wine industry since the 1970’s. Our vineyards are situated on a shallow ridge at the southern end of the Terra Rossa strip. The vineyards are now 20 - 40 years old, balanced and producing deeply flavoured small berry fruit. Complex and structured with careful attention to detail working with fruit, oak and tannin integration, our wines represent complex and individual expressions of Coonawarra.

Linger at the cellar door and enjoy a cheese board filled with selected cheeses and seasonal produce. In summer, relax on the deck overlooking the pond, borrow a picnic rug and laze on the lawn or sit amongst our 1,000 roses. In winter, relax by the fire inside with a glass of one of our award winning wines.

Highlights include:

• James Halliday 5 star winery rating for 16 consecutive years

• Langton’s V 2010 & VI 2014 - The Tally listed as Outstanding

blokcoonawarra

Comments: The Blok Estate Coonawarra was established in 1998 with the cellar door taking up residence in an old homestead in world class wine region Coonawarra.

Owned and operated by the Trotter family since 2005. One of the smallest wineries in Coonawarra a visit to The Blok Estate cellar door is a great experience, friendly and relaxed.

Focusing on traditional varietals such as Sparkling Pinot Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz, Cabernet Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon wines are always released later with some age. Current red vintages in cellar door are often 5 or more years old, showing their true potential.

Whilst the varietals are traditional, The Blok Estate Coonawarra loves bucking the trend, releasing wines later and proudly producing some award winning whites, namely Riesling, in a predominately red wine region. Often in cellar door you will find a few aged Rieslings available to taste as well.

The Blok Estate Coonawarra is well worth a visit when you are next in Coonawarra.

DiGiorgioFamilyWines

Comments: The DiGiorgio family had a vision to produce the highest quality wines from their estate grown fruit and in March 2002, acquired the second oldest winery in the heart of Coonawarra, previously known as Rouge Homme. This has provided the family with a wonderful production facility and a centrally located cellar door. It has a blend of new and old technology allowing the family to produce premium hand crafted wines. This commitment has been rewarded by winning numerous awards and a 5 Star Winery Rating.

In addition to producing premium wines from Coonawarra and Lucindale, the DiGiorgio family sources specific varietal fruit from different areas of the Limestone Coast where they believe the terroir is best suited to the variety. These wines make up the Renaissance Range and are a selection of varieties specially chosen to demonstrate the versatility of the region and the passion and ambition of our winemakers.

When visiting the cellar door you will have the opportunity to taste premium wines from our extensive portfolio, olive oil and local cheese. The outdoor seating area is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine with a “Pick Your Own Produce” platter with family and friends.

Comments: Bundalong has been in the Porter family for over 65 years. An old shallow quarry with exposed red top soil suggested the presence of Coonawarra’s world renowned terra rossa soil and led us to plant vines. The first Cabernet Sauvignon was planted in 1989 followed by Shiraz.

Originally all grapes were sold to the largest buyer in Coonawarra, with some blocks being graded in the top 5%.

The objective has always been quality rather than quantity. In 2008 we produced our first premium wines which scored a 5 star ranking by Halliday. We restrict our vintages to our very good years and our next vintage, 2012 received 95 points from Halliday.

Our intimate knowledge of the vineyard enables us to manage the soil and microclimate to carefully balance the canopy and crop to produce a layering of flavours.

Our current vintage is our 2014 limited release single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.

We use specially selected parcels of fruit matured in French oak.

Comments: Sydney Hamilton (1898-1987) was a noted Australian oenologist, with a winemaking career spanning nearly 60 years.

In 1974, at 76 years of age, he selected a fine piece of ‘Terra Rossa’ country at Coonawarra to fulfill a life’s ambition, to grow and produce a classic Australian Cabernet Sauvignon.

He named the estate Leconfield, after his English ancestor, Lord Leconfield, and set about establishing a remarkable reputation for Leconfield Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon.

In 1981 Uncle Sydney retired, and his nephew Dr Richard Hamilton purchased the company, retaining this gem of the Australian Wine Industry in family hands.

The 43.7 hectare vineyard produces fruit with distinctive regional character.

ottelia_wine

Comments: Majella Wines, located in the centre of the famous Coonawarra red strip is one of Australia’s most awarded small wineries, boasting a 5 star rating with James Halliday- Australian Wine Companion.

Majella is owned and operated by the Lynn family who have been residents of the Penola – Coonawarra district for five generations, starting off as blacksmiths, wheelwrights, storekeepers and finally, graziers.

In 1968 Brian (Prof) and Anthony Lynn started planting a vineyard on the Coonawarra property that their parents had purchased back in 1960. At that stage the property was used for prime lamb production, but a decision was made to convert a lovely “terra rossa” bank on the front of the farm into vineyards. Eventually the size of the vineyards grew to 60 hectares consisting of the Shiraz planted in 1968, the famous Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon planted in 1970, followed by Merlot and Riesling.

The remainder of the land is still used for sheep grazing, mostly for prime lamb production with the rest purely for wool, you’ll spot the sheep grazing amongst our vineyards in the off season.

Over the past years Majella has made every effort to become somewhat ecofriendly, with a large solar power expansion and collection of rain water to limit our water usage. All our current release wines are vegan friendly too.

It was only ever supposed to be temporary. John and Melissa Innes moved to the iconic Coonawarra region twenty-nine years ago intending to, in John’s words, “stay a little while”.

They bought a parcel of land ringed by tall Red Gum Eucalypts, and with natural wetlands dotted with Ottelia Ovalifolia, a native water lily. In 1993 they planted 2 Ha of Cabernet Sauvignon and over the next 3 years expanded the vineyard to 9 Ha. All these years later John and Melissa are still there.

John spent more than twenty years working within the Coonawarra region as a winemaker. He and Melissa then turned their energy towards their own projects; the restaurant Fodder and the wine label Ottelia.

Introducing Drink Ottelia + Eat Fodder, walk in and taste the growing portfolio of wine alongside wood fired sourdough pizzas and seasonal dishes made with fresh veggies from the Fodder | Ottelia garden.

The wine making team at Majella consists of Bruce Gregory, who has been our winemaker since 1991, the year of our first official release. Michael Marcus joined the team in 2008 and with him a new wealth of experience to make one of the best winemaking teams around. Our modern cellar door sales was built in 1995 and is open daily*, you’ll find on tasting our full range of Majella wines including our very popular sparkling Shiraz and our flagship wine, The Malleea.

Parker Coonawarra EstateEstablished: 1985




www.parkercoonawarraestate.com.au

Comments: Parker Coonawarra Estate was established in 1985 by John and Faye Parker after a career long interest in the region. Their vision was to create the most faithful expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from the celebrated terra rossa over limestone soils of Coonawarra. Parker Estate remains committed to building on this original ethos, to combine the best vines, with the best soil, from the best growing region, without compromise.

Our 20Ha estate ‘Abbey’ vineyard is located upon the famed ‘cigar strip’ of terra rossa soil in southern Coonawarra; where Cabernet Sauvignon is predominant. There are also small pockets of Merlot and Petit Verdot which are often included in the final blend of our premium First Growth. The Cabernet Sauvignon is planted to Reynella vine selection; original cuttings from Bordeaux, sourced before Phylloxera decimated the vineyards throughout France in the late 1800’s.

Parker Coonawarra Estate maintains a five star Halliday rating, whilst also receiving Langton’s Classification V for Excellence – one of only 123 Australian wineries to be awarded such.

Comments: Petaluma was founded in 1976 with the focused objective to produce ultra-premium wines by carefully selecting the best sites within a particular Australian region suited to a chosen variety.

Petaluma set its sights on Coonawarra for the specific purpose of growing world class, elegant and long-lived Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Situated at the heart of Coonawarra’s highly prized strip of warm, friable red clay (Terra Rossa), the Evans Vineyard was purchased in 1978 from the late Australian wine legend, Len Evans.

1983 saw Petaluma additionally establish the Sharefarmers Vineyard and both are hand pruned, with vertical trellising used in closely spaced rows.

Over almost four decades, the hallmark yellow label has come to represent Australian wine of refined elegance.

Under the direction of veteran Petaluma winemaker Andrew Hardy, Petaluma Coonawarra is well established as a New World classic and acclaimed by collectors, with a long term rating of Excellent in the Langton’s Classification of Australian wine.

This property became the basis of the Redman family holdings for the next 58 years. In 1937 Owen Redman joined his father, and through many trials and tribulations, they established Coonawarra as the leading red wine producing area of Australia.

In 1965, the original family holdings were sold. Owen Redman immediately bought a small vineyard and the first wines under his new ‘REDMAN’ label were made in 1966, with the current winery being built for the 1969 vintage.

Many changes have occurred in the vineyards and winery, but the Redman winemaking traditions can still be traced back to lessons learnt by Bill Redman.

Following in this family tradition, third and fourth generation winemakers, Bruce, Malcolm and Daniel continue to make the elegant high quality red wines for which the Redman name has become renowned.

Comments: In the 1970s Peter Rymill, the great grandson of John Riddoch - the founder of Coonawarra - established Rymill Coonawarra. Peter very much embraced the pioneering spirit, strength and sense of adventure of his forefathers, when he planted a diverse range of varieties on the terra rossa soil and built a stunning, high tech winery that is still home to Rymill Coonawarra today.

The current winemaking team, who have travelled from across Australia, France and Argentina, also channel that pioneering spirit and adventure, to focus on the newest winemaking and sustainable viticulture techniques and hand craft some of the very best quality wines in the region.

100% Estate Grown. 100% Coonawarra. 100% Sustainable.

Experience the uniqueness of Coonawarra by visiting Rymill Coonawarra’s cellar door, picturesque lawns and gallery, described by regarded wine-critic James Halliday as “a must-visit destination” in the region.

St Hugo WinesEstablished: 1847

Comments: St Hugo wines were created to honour the legacy of Hugo Gramp, who became Managing Director of G. Gramp and Sons winery in 1920 when he was just 25 years of age. The home of St Hugo is located in the Barossa Valley where he lived and worked his entire life. Although St Hugo does not have a cellar door in Coonawarra, visitors can see two of our St Hugo vineyards along Riddoch Highway.

In 1980, the first vintage of St Hugo was harvested - a Cabernet Sauvignon of exceptional quality from the Coonawarra region, to be later released in 1983.

In the 30+ years since, St Hugo has established a reputation for excellence. The wines have earned over 1,554 awards at wine shows, including 35 trophies and 242 Gold medals, which are testament to our outstanding quality and impeccable style.

St Hugo Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon is a leading premium Cabernet Sauvignon in Australia. It has been listed on Langton’s Classification of Australian wines since 2005, proving it to be one of Australia’s most sought after wine labels by wine collectors.

wynnscoonawarra

Comments: Wynns Coonawarra Estate was founded by Scottish pioneer John Riddoch, who planted vineyards in 1891 recognising the potential of the rich, red Terra Rossa top soil and the long ripening season of Coonawarra’s cool southerly climate. He completed the Estate’s three-gabled winery in 1896.

Coonawarra’s revival began in 1951 when Melbourne wine merchants Samuel and David Wynn purchased Riddoch’s original vineyards and winery. The Wynns recognised the intrinsic qualities of Coonawarra wines – their richness and intensity of fruit character – and set out to build an independent identity for the region.

They created the famous label that has made John Riddoch’s winery one of Australia’s best known buildings.

Today, Wynns Coonawarra Estate is the region’s largest single vineyard holder on Terra Rossa soil and Coonawarra’s pre-eminent wine maker.

With the most premium and longest established vineyards in Coonawarra, Wynns Coonawarra Estate wines are regarded as benchmarks for the district, lauded for their sheer depth and concentration of flavour. Now in the Gables building, Wynns offers a dedicated conference room for hire with state of the art technology and facilities.

yalumbawine

Comments: Established more than 168 years ago and now led by fifth-generation Chairman Robert Hill-Smith, Yalumba stands proud. It is dedicated to remaining under family ownership for the sixth generation to nurture; committed to crafting wines of conviction, quality and provenance.

To own a vineyard upon the famous ‘terra rossa’ soil over limestone is the holy grail of all Cabernet Sauvignon purists. Since 1987, the Hill-Smith family has counted themselves among those fortunate enough to make an estate grown Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, naming it after red wine enthusiast and former Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies, who so generously praised Yalumba’s Special Vintage Galway Claret 1961 at an influential gathering in Adelaide in 1966.

The Menzies Vineyard is Yalumba’s distinguished Cabernet Sauvignon estate, crafting two exceptional single-site Cabernet Sauvignons in ‘The Menzies’ and ‘The Cigar.’

Experimentation, innovation, minimal intervention and small batch winemaking has resulted in Yalumba’s Coonawarra estate wines having an enviable reputation; being wines of longevity, elegance and structure.

Comments: The Zema family is well known for producing great red wines but it is also their warm welcome, colourful characters and unforgettable experiences that set them apart.

Grape growing and winemaking has been a large part of the Zema family’s history since the early 1800’s and it is this passion for wine that has been passed down from generation to generation.

The Zema family is proudly traditional in the ‘vine to wine’ process, using only 100% Coonawarra ‘estate grown’ fruit, remaining committed to hand pruning and using minimal irrigation to maximize vine health and fruit quality.

These practices are further enhanced by the strategic location of their three Coonawarra vineyard sites which capitalizes on the regions subtle climatic variations.

The Zema family are producing a range of hand crafted wines for your enjoyment that are renowned for their consistency, intense rich fruit with excellent regional and varietal definition.
