Visit Wine Dine & Relax Australia’s Red Wine Centre Visit Wine Dine & Relax Coonawarra … a small strip of land in the cool south east corner of South Australia, this remote and ancient landscape produces 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 that keep coming back. Discover the Coonawarra effect. Australia’s Red Wine Centre Our Heritage and Community Our community is as rich and varied as the stunning wines we produce. Coonawarra grew out of human spirit and ingenuity, and like all appellations, the wines of Coonawarra speak not just of the famous terroir, but also of the local community and people who give character to those wines. It began with the vision of Scottish immigrant John Riddoch, who travelled to Australia; lured by the gold rush in 1852. Eventually, his wealth grew exponentially, and he became a pastoralist, with a large landholding that embraced Yallum (now Yallum Park) near Penola. Legend has it that he so admired the garden and orchard of a local identity that he conceived of the idea of The Coonawarra Fruit Colony, that would later become Coonawarra. Eventually, settler families were attracted to the region to try their hand at growing vines and orchard fruits in the early 1890 period. The first vintage was produced in 1895, and the second in what is now the Katnook woolshed. Riddoch commissioned a large tri-gabled winery and cellar to be built of local stone and ready for the third vintage in 1897. Riddoch died in 1901, but the tradition for fine reds was soon championed by the Redman family who planted new vineyards, and pioneered the production of table wines, in contrast to everyone else distilling fruit for brandy. Coonawarra’s renaissance began in 1951 when Riddoch’s original winery was purchased and renamed Wynns Coonawarra Estate. The new owners sought to position their wines for a premium market and, in the process, make Coonawarra famous. There are now many world-class wineries and vineyards who call Coonawarra home. Today, new generations of winemaking families toil alongside an influx of fresh new 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 salutes and values tradition while embracing innovation. 1 www.coonawarra.org Australia’s Red Wine Centre Our Landscape and Terroir Coonawarra is blessed with several gifts of nature that are impossible to engineer. The combination of a unique terra rossa soil, with a long cool ripening season, and a permanent supply of pure underground water from the limestone aquifers, makes Coonawarra eminently suitable to growing the perfect expression of “the king of grapes” – Cabernet Sauvignon. Our distinctive terroir produces wines of great distinction – regardless of whether they are red, white or sparkling. Having said that, Coonawarra is renowned for producing beautiful and elegant red wines, that not only taste superb but also age exquisitely. As a recognised cool climate wine region, Coonawarra is one of the coldest Australian places to ripen grape berries, and as a result of the longer ripening season, our wines develop more complex and refined flavours. Our landscape reflects the evolutionary forces of nature over the last million years, when the land was brimming with sea life at the base of the Kanawinka Escarpment. Then came an ice-age, freezing the ocean waters into polar ice-caps, and causing the shoreline to recede. As the land rose above sea level, the white limestone layer became exposed to the elements. The prevailing maritime winds blew silt from the plains creating the light clay rich in iron, silica and other nutrients. This oxidised into the famous rust-coloured terra rossa soil that is Coonawarra today. Our celebrated ridge of terra rossa is just 27 kilometres long and less than two kilometres wide. Terra rossa soil is extraordinary and extremely valuable; a permeable light clay over a limestone base, that allows water to drain freely, providing ample air, and the opportunity for vine roots to explore and thrive. With such gifts of nature, our commitment in Coonawarra is to make beautiful wines that are a pure expression of our natural environment; and to continue to be progressive and innovative in nurturing sustainable viticulture for the future. 2 Wine Balnaves of Coonawarra Established: 1990 The Balnaves family settled in the Penola/Coonawarra Comments: area in 1855 and have been working in the wine industry Winery & Cellar Door Address: since the 1970’s.
