Vineyards

Coonawarra’s terra rossa soil is some of the most famous soil in the world. Its dark red clay over limestone provides excellent drainage and the right balance of nutrients, making it the ideal medium for vine growth and producing quality fruit. The climate of Coonawarra is markedly influenced by proximity to the coast, often creating morning cloud cover providing a long and slow moderating effect on fruit development – allowing maximum flavour accumulation and development of fine tannins.

Situated north of Coonawarra and south of the Padthaway region, Wrattonbully lies in the gentle rolling landscape of the Naracoorte ranges. The climate is marginally warmer than Coonawarra, facilitating grapes to ripen a few weeks earlier. With similar soil profiles to Coonawarra, this temperate region is well suited to the production of premium wines.
