2 FROM THE COUNCIL CHAIR

This year is the 15th Limestone Coast Wineshow with Jane Faulkner taking on the role of chair of Judges, leading a panel of leading local judges, along with Lim Hwee Peng from Singapore our International Judge. The wine show continues to bring both influential national and international judges to the Limestone Coast, provide a benchmark for our local wines and be a great occasion for all the wine community to get together once a year for the awards ceremony. The last year has been another of extremely challenging conditions for wine sales in particular and flowing on from that, grapes sales at sustainable pricing. The end of the mining boom and improved financial conditions in the USA has seen a drop in the value of the Australian dollar from parity to $0.70, this has already stimulated some export sales, and we are optimistic this will gain traction over the coming year, providing some light at the end of the tunnel. The proposed use of fracking by Shale gas exploration companies, continues to be the on-running major issue for the Council. Stuart Sharman and myself presented to the SA Government Natural Resources Inquiry into Unconventional Gas (Fracking) in the S.E., in the first day of presentations of the inquiry. We focused on the value of the existing wine industry in the S.E. and other food industries that rely on high quality water, and what was at risk. Pete Balnaves with Fraser Bell, and Glen Harrington presented on behalf of the Coonawarra Grape and Wine Inc, looking at basement rooted fractures ( ie fractures that join basement rock at 4 kms down with the surface) and the gap between the legislative acts that regulate mining and water resources. Allen Jenkins and the head of International Marketing for TWE also presented on the importance of the Limestone Coast to the Treasury portfolio. We are co-operating with the AWRI and SAWIA on their presentations due in November. The LCGWC Tech sub-committee has again had a busy year under the direction of Ben Harris. The Tech committee with AWRI presented a very successful and informative seminar on Climate Adaption in Penola last November, with Professor Tim Flannery giving the opening presentation. The AWRI also did a follow-up seminar on strategies for adaptation to climate change in February. Following on from this I attended on behalf of the LCGWC a climate change adaptation strategy day put on by the NRM board in conjunction with SELGA and Rural Development Australia LC, in Mt Gambier This involved local town councils, a wide range of local industries, and government departments, emergency services and police. It is very gratifying to see local and state government in is taking this issue seriously and pushing ahead with planning for the many issues that will arise from warming. Lastly I would like to thank all the wine show committee who work all year to bring the show to fruition, as well as their employers who make them available to volunteer. I would also particularly thank the sponsors, many of whom have been long term supporters and whose funds underpin the show. Pete Bissell Chairman Limestone Coast Grape and Wine Council

5 Wine Show ‘15’ THE TROPHIES

­­THE BILL REDMAN TROPHY FOR BEST WINE OF SHOW Bill Redman is considered to be one of the pioneers for the region’s wine industry. His first vintage was at John Riddoch’s winery in Coonawarra in 1901 and he was appointed head cellar person at the age of 19 and learnt the craft of winemaking from Ewen Fergusson McBain.

In 1909 Redman entered into an agreement with Douglas A Tolley to make wine from the Redman family vineyard in hogsheads supplied by Tolley. This arrangement continued for 10 years with most of the wine being exported to Britain. Bill Redman subsequently made wine in bulk primarily for Woodley Wines until the 1950’s, The wine was said to be a lighter bodied ‘claret’ style aged in large casks for at least 2 years. Bill oversaw all the winemaking in Coonawarra from 1946 to 1951.

In the early 1950’s Bill started to supply wine to several wines companies such as Hardy, Yalumba, Leo Buring, Woodley and Chateau Reynella.

In 1952 Bill established Rouge Homme and the first wine to appear under his own label was the 1953 Rouge Homme Claret. Bill retired in 1954 however he remained involved with Rouge Homme until its sale in 1965 and subsequently Redman Wines until his death in 1979.

THE ARTHUR HOFFMANN TROPHY FOR VITICULTURIST OF BEST WINE OF SHOW Arthur Hoffmann had a long association with the region’s wine industry; principally in viticulture, although he did work the still in the early days of Chateau Comaum. Arthur Hoffmann’s viticultural training was hands on. His skill in the vineyard was learned from his work in Coonawarra vineyards, primarily the Stentiford and Johnson vineyards along with his family’s vineyards, also in Coonawarra.

Even though the government of the day in the 1930s was offering subsidy to pull vines and encouraging dairy farming, Arthur continued to grow grapes and sold his fruit to Bill Redman who said the great wines of Rouge Homme came from Hoffmann vineyards. In 1965 Arthur sold his 60-year-old Shiraz block to the fledgling Redman Wines and he continued his association with the Redmans in the vineyard and cellar door until his retirement in 1990 aged 87. Arthur Hoffmann passed away in 1994.

6 THE DAVID WYNN TROPHY FOR BEST RED WINE OF SHOW It is evident David Wynn saw that it was not enough just to make great wine, but that a concerted marketing effort would be required for Australians to accept table wines as part of their lives.

David’s father, Samuel Wynn, was a successful Melbourne wine merchant and was familiar with the attributes of Coonawarra. However when the opportunity arose to purchase Chateau Comaum (the old Riddoch winery) and vineyards, Samuel was not convinced it would be a good viticultural investment, largely due to a report indicating the property would be unviable for wine production. David was not as cautious as his father and courageously went ahead with the purchase.

Securing the help of Ian Hickinbotham, Wynn’s main aim was to combine the wines produced with “an advertising campaign in Melbourne to make Coonawarra famous. People when thinking of Claret, would then think of Coonawarra”. What ensued was the distinctive branding of Wynns Coonawarra Estate and its position in the market as one of the first quality wines of Australia.

THE COLIN KIDD TROPHY FOR BEST WHITE WINE OF SHOW

Colin and his family arrived in Coonawarra soon after 1965 to take over from Philip Laffer at Rouge Homme and to continue Lindemans Vineyard Developments at Coonawarra and Padthaway. He was to preside over the 1968 to 1972 Rouge Homme Winery Vintages in addition to managing the company vineyards. Colin later became responsible nationally for Lindemans Vineyard Operations.

During his period in the Limestone Coast Colin presided over key developments including the Lindemans St. George and Limestone Ridge Vineyards, developing the Lindemans Padthaway Vineyards just a year behind Karl Seppelts’ pioneering vineyard at Keppoch, and developing a small pilot vineyard of four wine grape varieties at Mt Benson in 1980.

Colin was an instigator in bringing the Coonawarra and Limestone Coast Wine Industries together through various forums and projects of the time, including the South East Viticultural Council (since renamed the Limestone Coast Grape & Wine Council), the Coonawarra Airfield Company, with its land acquisition and development of the McGillivray Airstrip and the introduction of such Coonawarra institutions such as ‘Bottle Nights’ and the local Beefsteak and Burgundy Clubs.

THE H.R. (RON) HASELGROVE TROPHY FOR BEST CABERNET OF SHOW

Ron Haselgrove was born in Adelaide on 23rd April 1900. He graduated from Roseworthy Ag College in 1919 after a brief stint classing wool, he returned to Roseworthy as Acting Analytical chemist in 1920 and went on to do his first vintage at Renmark Growers Distillery under the direction of Leo Buring.

He then went to France and studied at L’cole national d’Agriculture at Montpellier and on his return was winemaker for Angoves and then Mildara. He went on to be Managing Director of Mildara Wines. In the early 1950’s, Mildara started making ‘claret’ style wines with shiraz and cabernet from vineyards in Coonawarra. In 1955 Mildara purchased land and developed 370 hectares of vineyard.

Ron was instrumental in defining the ‘claret’ style of the time, using smaller oak barrels and working with french coopers to achieve this. A notable wine made with his influence was the 1963 Mildara Peppermint Pattie, rare but still valued and drinkable today.

Notably, Ron received an OBE in 1964 for his services to wine, which included the establishment of the AWRI. He retired in 1971.

KARL SEPPELT TROPHY FOR BEST WHITE (EX. )

Karl Seppelt is a third generation member of the Seppelt family who are a long established Australian winemaking dynasty which originated in the Barossa in the 1850’s. In the early 1960’s Karl travelled overseas visiting many of the old world wine growing regions. It became “obvious” to him that for the Australian wine industry to progress beyond a predominately fortified wine producer, new regions suitable for premium table wine production needed to be found.

He sought government and private information on agricultural land that he considered might be suitable for this of endevour. Armed with that knowledge and further intelligence garnered from sending his vineyard manager on a holiday to get local knowledge, Seppelt purchased land in Padthaway, with the first plantings of Shiraz and Cabernet in 1964.

Karl Seppelt as company viticulturist continued the expansion of vineyard in Padthaway into the 1980’s.

The original name for the Padthaway Region, ‘Keppoch’ coined by Seppelt is no longer in use, original plantings are still productive and have provided valuable source material and knowledge, and still make good wine today.

The original name for the Padthaway region, “Keppoch” coined by Seppelt is no longer in use; however the legacy of Karl Seppelt’s vision of Padthaway as a winegrowing region lives on through the many superb and diverse wines produced in the area.

8 THE EWEN FERGUSSON MCBAIN TROPHY FOR BEST MUSEUM WINE IN CLASSES 34 & 35

Ewen was the first winemaker to work & live in Coonawarra. Dux of Roseworthy in his year, he them became the assistant government viticulturist to Professor Perkins at Roseworthy College.

Perkins has been advising Riddoch on the establishment of the Yallum Fruit Colony and recommended McBain to Riddoch. in 1898 he took up the position as manager of the Yallum Park Fruit Fruit Colony where the 60 acres of vines received his skilful attention and started making wine in the partially completed Riddochs’ Cellars (now Wynns). During his time as manager he oversaw the completion of the cellars, completed 10 vintages and trained Bill Redman, who took over the winemaking in 1908. Mccain was said to have been meticulous and insisted on absolute cleanliness in the winery.

McBain brought to Coonawarra the best science and up to date knowledge of the day for the establishment of the new region.

THE ERIC BRAND TROPHY FOR BEST SHIRAZ

Eric established Brands Laira in 1966 after acquiring the vineyard in 1950. Brands Laira was one of the first small wineries in Coonawarra and the first winery to open a Cellardoor sales outlet.

Having served in the RAAF in Papua New Guinea and Borneo during the second world war Eric returned to Australia and settled in Coonawarra.

Eric has left a strong legacy of community involvement. Involved in the setting up of the Viticultural Council of SE (now the Limestone Coast Grape and Wine Council ) and the Coonawarra Vignerons Association.

Eric was a mentor to many people, helping with the establishment and encouragement of many new wineries in the region.

Eric was invested in 1995 as the First Patron of Coonawarra, in recognition of 50 years of commitment to the Coonawarra wine region and received the O.A.M. in 2002 for his contribution to the wine industry and community.

A man of few words but sharp sense of humour, Eric has truly made a life time contribution to our wine community.

Moving to Mount Benson in the Limestone Coast to make wine for Cape Jaffa Wines has allowed Pip to gain further valuable experience with a new range of wine varieties.

Judges Comments: A some what disappointing class- The Pinot Noirs being the weakest link with the Merlots showing some subtle fruit and very drinkable. Others disjointed with hard finish, too much oak and not enough fruit. However a vibrant, lively and fresh Tempranillo shows lovely texture too.

Judges: Jane Faulkner, Lim Hwee Peng, Patrick White Associate Judges: Scott Hannan, Fran Bartosek

Judges Comments: A Sensational class to judge, and a privilege to do so. A few wines must be enjoyed now and a few past their prime. Compliments to the oldest wine - a 2000 Cabernet as not all the ‘Younger’ museum wines will look that great with the same amount of age. The top gold showed great balance, power and complexity and has many years ahead of it. A class with love. EXHIBIT ENTRY EXHIBITOR COMMERCIAL NAME VINTAGE SCORE AWARD NB SB SV NO.
