Coonawarra wine region

Coonawarra, nestled in South Australia's Limestone Coast, is renowned for its distinctive terra rossa soil—a rich, red clay over limestone—that imparts unique flavors to its wines. This narrow strip of land, approximately 27 kilometers long and 2 kilometers wide, is celebrated for producing exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, and Merlot. The region's cool, maritime climate, influenced by the nearby Southern Ocean, extends the grape ripening period, enhancing flavor complexity. With over 20 cellar doors along a single stretch of road, Coonawarra offers a convenient and immersive wine-tasting experience.
