Coonawarra, located in South Australia's Limestone Coast region, is one of the country’s premier wine regions, internationally acclaimed for its exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. The secret to Coonawarra’s success lies in its unique terra rossa soil—a narrow strip of rich, red earth layered over limestone—which provides excellent drainage and imparts distinctive character to the wines.
The region’s cool maritime climate, influenced by nearby Southern Ocean breezes, allows for long, slow ripening, resulting in wines with intense flavor, structure, and elegance. While Cabernet is king, Coonawarra also produces outstanding Shiraz and Merlot. With its flat, open landscape, historic stone wineries, and a legacy of innovation and quality, Coonawarra is a must-visit for serious wine enthusiasts seeking world-class reds.
For more than 50 years the Heritage-listed winery of Wynns and its famous Gables have been a feature of Wynns Coonawarra Estate labels. During that time the Gables have become a distinctive mark of exceptional Coonawarra quality. Crafted from small, select parcels of the region’s excellent Chardonnay grapes, ‘The Gables’ is designed to partner a diverse range of foods and is a versatile addition to any wine list.
