The Balnaves Coonawarra Vineyard was established in 1975, and is situated at the southern end of the Coonawarra Terra Rossa strip. The family, which has been associated with the district since 1855, remains fully committed to a high level of ‘hands-on’ involvement. The grapes for this wine come from a mix of the Dead Morris and Old Paulownia blocks. Dark red in colour, the nose is intense with bright blackberry and blackcurrant fruit with a touch of graphite and vanilla oak. The palate is firm with rich dark fruit, spice and lingering soft tannins, with balance and length. Balnaves of Coonawarra
