The team at Rymill Coonawarra believe Australia’s best Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Coonawarra, which is why over fifty percent of their vineyards are planted to this variety. The Coonawarra and Cabernet combination is a gift from nature due to an exceptional mix of natural elements;  a moderate, maritime climate and the perfect soil for grape growing. Coonawarra’s Terra Rossa soil is unique, being a mixture of red clay and fertile loam overlaying deep limestone. Great wines come from great grapes, and this is exemplified in their vineyards. Forty years old and going strong, 140 hectares of their sustainably grown vineyards are planted entirely on the precious terra rossa soil. Cabernet isn’t their only strength, their vineyards also produce exceptional Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Gewurztraminer.
