Coonawarra

Coonawarra

• Coonawarra is situated in the limestone coast region of South Australia, renowned for its special soil fertility known as "Terra Rossa." The soil is vibrant red in color, with a neutral pH and excellent drainage capabilities. It is this special ability that allows winemakers to control moisture levels in the soil, thereby regulating water and sugar content in grapes during harvest. Thanks to its coastal proximity, the climate in Coonawarra is moderated, with dry and cool summers extending the ripening period of grapes. This provides grapes with ample time to synthesize nutrients and develop diverse flavor profiles.

When mentioning Coonawarra, Cabernet Sauvignon immediately comes to mind as the most popular grape variety, serving as the primary ingredient in many world-renowned Australian wines.
