Wynns Coonawarra Estate
Philosophy
Wynns Coonawarra Estate is Australia's most important Cabernet Sauvignon producer — holding 200+ hectares of the finest Coonawarra terra rossa in a single contiguous estate. The three-gabled winery is the most recognisable symbol of Coonawarra wine. Their range spans from the accessible estate Cabernet to the John Riddoch (ultra-premium, old-vine, single-vineyard selection) and the Michael Shiraz. Wynns exemplifies how Australian wine can achieve complexity and age-worthiness from a single region with distinctive terroir. Chief winemaker Sue Hodder's precision viticulture and winemaking has elevated quality to consistently 96-100 point territory.
