2 FROM THE COUNCIL CHAIR

Vintage 2018 was notably affected by a very late frost event on the 4th November across the Limestone Coast, with most regions impacted in some way. The Wine Australia Crush survey has the 2018 vintage crush at 83,000 tonnes a 35% reduction on 2017 figures but probably 20% down on the long term average. Due to the lateness of the frost many vineyards that were not directly frosted suffered from poor set, lowering yields. However the good news was the remaining fruit, in what was a warmer season, has produced excellent wine with great colours and flavour. China has continued to drive demand for higher grade red fruit, with the exports to China hitting $1.06 billion for the previous 12 months in Sept 2018, and total exports reaching $2.71 billion. 61% of Australian wine is currently being exported. Despite some political problems with China affecting wine and other commodities on the Chinese ports, the outlook still appears to be positive, although it is apparent these growth rates in sales cannot be sustained indefinitely. We have also seen this year in the region, not only significant replanting of existing vineyard, but new ground vineyards being established in Wrattonbully and Padthaway. Of note this year the LCGWC in co-operation with Limestone Coast local government tourism, South Grampians Shire Council and a number of other bodies, has secured funding from Federal Government and PIRSA to develop wine trails starting at the end of the Great Ocean Road and coming through the Limestone Coast heading to the Barossa Valley and Kangaroo Island. These trails will be on an interactive website and phone app, in both English and Mandarin, to show visitors the wine experiences available in the regions but also to promote food producers, restaurants and other tourism experiences, such as the Naracoorte Caves and Blue Lake, and Penola’s historic Petticoat Lane walk. Having all these experiences on the one website will allow tourists, particularly USA and Chinese, to plan a holiday/itinerary in the region or tourist operators to plan a holiday for someone. Total funding for this project is $350,000, with $50,000 input from the LCGWC and other local partners, and will take two years to get up and running. With approximately 200,000 international tourists already coming along the Great Ocean Road, and 46,000 of these already coming on to the Limestone Coast, the aim of the project is to get another 40-50,000 visitors to come through the region. We have employed Toni Duka as our project manager who will be in touch with cellar doors, restaurants and tourist experience operators over the next six months to discuss being involved in the project. Also of note, this year Langtons have released their classification of Australian wine #7, which features 13 wines from Coonawarra, among the 136 wines classified. Producers listed have just done tastings of these wines in all the capital cities, promoting historic and collectable wines from Australia. I would also like to acknowledge the untimely passing this year of Wayne Stebhens, Winemaker at Katnook Estate, Wayne spent his entire winemaking career at Katnook and was involved in making every wine Katnook has made up until the 2018 vintage, a rare achievement. Also the passing of Annette Balnaves who, with Doug Balnaves, was involved in Hungerford Hill in the early 1970s, then in setting up Balnaves of Coonawarra. Annette was very active in Balnaves business but also in tourism in the Limestone Coast and also as an exceptional photographer, capturing many images of life in Coonawarra. Lastly Robert Miles who, with Guy Detot, has produced our unique Trophies for the show over the last 17 years also passed away last year.

3 Wine Show ’18 Council activities this year The Unconventional Gas Committee headed by Stu Sharman is very pleased to see a moratorium on fracking recently pass the lower house of state parliament, with support from the Marshall government and cross benchers, for-filling the commitment made by the Premier before the election, to give stability to food producers and communities in the Limestone Coast. The first reading in the upper house was the 4th of September and the second reading is due. We have had the opportunity to communicate our views directly to the Premier Steven Marshall, Minister Tim Whetstone Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister David Spiers Dept of Environment and Water, and Minister David Ridgeway Trade Tourism and Investment, on their recent visits to the Limestone Coast. Oil and gas companies Beach Energy and Rawson Oil and Gas are currently setting up to drill more deep conventional wells in the Limestone Coast, the waste product disposal and risk of spills from these deep well operations continues to be of concern with these projects. Kerry de Garis has secured Wine Australia regional funding for 2018-2019, including Cabernet rootstock winemaking trials, the recently successful Coonawarra Cabernet Symposium, practical pruning demonstrations by Simmonet and Sirch from Italy in Wrattonbully and Coonawarra also held in July, the recent Drone technology seminar held this month. Completion of the alternative varieties and rootstock project for Wrattonbully and Coonawarra started last year, and this year training seminar for labour hire companies on the new Fairwork rules and biosecurity protocols from Vinehealth Australia. The Tech committee has also had funded a second Wine Australia incubator project looking at potassium in grapevines and its influence on juice pH and acid additions, to be run in 2019, by Zeyu Xiao from Charles Sturt University. Vinay Pigay presented preliminary results for the first incubator project on berry shrivel in Cabernet Sauvignon at this year’s Coonawarra Cabernet Symposium. James Freckleton will represent the LCGWC and Pete Balnaves (Coonawarra) at the NRM review of the science committee looking at the proposed reductions in water licence due in 2018-2019, and if these are still relevant, prior to a new Water Allocation plan next year. The Limestone Coast Wine show this year welcomes Sam Connew – Stargazer Wines as our new chairman of judges, with Sam Kim – Wine Orbit, from New Zealand our international judge. Julian Langworthy – Deep Woods, Emma Norbiato – Calabria Family and Patrick White – Bocca de Lupo restaurant return to judge, with Travis Fuller – Accolade Wines and Jeni Port – wine journalist joining the judging panels. This year we also have three local judges joining the panels; Sue Hodder – Wynns, Luke Tocaciu – Patrick of Coonawarra and Anna Hooper – Vignerons Australia, allowing three panels and a non-judging chair for the first time. Associates this year were Michael Marcus – Majella, Alyson Tannenbaum – Cape Jaffa, Luke Trotter – Blok Estate, Lauren Hansen – Penley Estate and Matt Lance – Royal Mail. This year will also feature new tables for judging. I would like to thank all the judges for giving up their time to come and judge the show, and all the Sponsors who, by their support for the region, allow the show to go ahead, and lastly to all the volunteers and their employers who donate a huge amount of time throughout the year to bring the show to fruition.

11 Wine Show ’18 THE TROPHIES – TOP TIER

­­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.

12 THE TROPHIES – SECOND TIER

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.

13 Wine Show ’18 THE TROPHIES – THIRD TIER

KARL SEPPELT TROPHY FOR BEST WHITE (EX. CHARDONNAY) 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 PETER WEHL TROPHY FOR BEST MERLOT Peter ‘Pete’ Wehl was one of the great characters of the Mt Benson region. He was a passionate ambassador for both his family wine label and the region that was to become South Australia’s first to be registered as a GI. Wehl worked tirelessly to promote and advocate for the success of Mt Benson. He had a generous and quick witted disposition and an ability to bring people together, bridging the gaps, not just between North and South sides of the region but between grape growers and wine producers and the older and younger generations in the industry. His natural affinity for viticulture made him a great asset to other growers in the region who drew upon Pete for advice and mentorship.

The Wehl family played a pivotal role in the history of what is now an exceptional region for growing Shiraz, Cabernet and Sauvignon blanc. While a stroke of luck may have played a role in their decision, there is evidence that it was the red soil and cool maritime conditions that caught their attention leading them to be the first to plant grapes in Mt Benson. From humble beginnings of a two hectare plot of Cabernet in 1989, Wehl, along with parents, Bill and Margaret and wife Leah went on to build a very successful wine brand ‘Wehls Mt Benson Vineyards’. The family’s pioneering spirit inspired others into the region and a rapid development of the Mt Benson viticultural plantings followed amidst the boom of the early 90’s and a burgeoning wine industry Australia wide. Investors included a number of high profile international companies.

As well as producing his own awarded wines, between 1996 and 2001 Wehl undertook a major role managing the development and planting of the 120 Ha Mount Benson Community Corporation Vineyards. He remained with the corporation until his untimely death in 2014.

14 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.

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 1950s, 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.

THE EWEN FERGUSSON MCBAIN TROPHY FOR BEST MUSEUM RED 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.

Low scored wines showed some aldehyde, sulphide or Brettanomyces issues. High Oak level in some wines as well. Top wine a triumph in subtle oak/spice/fruit balance.
