About Coonawarra
Coonawarra is a Limestone Coast region about 380 km south-east of Adelaide, near the Victorian border. It is famous for Cabernet Sauvignon from its 'terra rossa' soil. The name is said to come from a Bindjali word for wild honeysuckle. John Riddoch planted the first vines in 1890, and for decades the Redman family's Rouge Homme was the only table-wine maker, mainly with Shiraz. In 1951 Samuel Wynn bought Riddoch's old cellars, and Wynns and Penfolds made Coonawarra a leader in Australia's shift from fortified to table wine. The terra rossa strip, about 15 by 2 km north of Penola, sits on a low limestone ridge.
