100% Mount Gambier.
Named after our two beautiful daughters.

Tasting notes
Crisp, fresh lively Nashi Pear with oyster shell mineral tones. Hints of guava notes stemming from the partial barrel ferment. As it warms in the glass hints of honey and white peach shine through.

Winemakers notes
Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris are the same grape variety. Pinot Grigio is Italian, Pinot Gris is French. “Grigio” and “Gris” both meaning grey which is the hue present in colour of the grapes.

Koonara is the name of our property in Coonawarra which has been in our family for over 100 years, and where my Gran - Emiline May Reschke - lived until she was 99. Accomplished dressmaker and designer, teacher, bridge and scrabble guru, and professional floral artist.

Here’s to you Gran.

Tasting notes
A delicate but complex wine, with hints of Turkish delight and maraschino cherry and raspberry notes.

100% Mount Gambier.

“Friends are angels that lift you up when your wings have forgotten how to fly. Many people walk through your life, but true friends leave footprints in your heart.” So raise your glass - here’s to friends.

Tasting notes

Part barrel ferment has given this cool climate wine layers of complexity, with guava, crisp pink lady apples and gooseberry notes.

Winemakers notes

Mount Gambier is even cooler than Marlborough in NZ, so the long growing period allows the grapes to develop an abundance of flavours, and It means we can barrel ferment to increase complexity without losing it’s crispness and zest.

Single vineyard, organically grown.

We are very proud of our wines - we hope you enjoy them.

According to J. Gladstone the Biological Effective Degree Days (BEDD) – where you add all the temperatures of the growing season together – of the top sub region of Burgundy is 1242. Mount Gambier’s BEDD is 1245, making it the closest to - the most famous French Pinot Noir region - Burgundy that we have in Australia. Est. 1883, the Cape Banks Lighthouse is a significant orange monument standing as a sentinel on South Australia’s rugged South East coastline. The lighthouse’s powerful lamps shine shafts of warning light across the wild Southern Ocean, offering protection for passing vessels from treacherous hidden reefs.

Everyone needs a Guardian Angel ...

Tasting notes
“Freshness and fruit focus are the priorities for this vintage cuvée, released within months of harvest. It’s a vibrant celebration of youthful chardonnay and pinot noir, alive with lemon and red cherry fruit that finds refreshing balance between bright acidity and subtle dosage.” – Tyson Stelzer

Winemakers notes
80% Chardonnay 20% Pinot. Mount Gambier is the coolest region in mainland Australia, allowing flavours in the grapes to develop longer while still keeping their crispness. This produces rich lemon and lime Chardonnay, and luscious Pinot Noir. This coupled with the minerality from the rocky flint under just 10cm of soil in our Mount Gambier vineyard, helps create a complexity of flavours and long finish.

We are very proud of our wines - we hope you enjoy them.

100% Mount Gambier. Single vineyard.

 Vineyard notes

Just 40 minutes south of our Coonawarra vineyards are our Mount Gambier vineyards. Mount Gambier is the coolest region in mainland Australia and has perfect conditions for creating excellent Riesling.

Razor-sharp flint rocks rise from the thin soils under vines, and the pure underground water flows from the famous Blue Lake.

The flint and minerally notes are a hint that it will age for well over 20 years.

We are very proud of our wines - we hope you enjoy them.

Est. 1883, the Cape Banks Lighthouse is a significant orange monument standing as a sentinel on South Australia’s rugged South East coastline.

 

Region
100% Mount Gambier.

The grapes for this cool-climate Chardonnay are grown in Mount Gambier, the coolest mean maximum temperature average of any wine region in mainland Australia.

Winemakers notes

50% new French oak Hogshead barrels for 4 months, going through malo-latic (2nd ferment) changing the malo acids into lactic acid, the same as in milk and butter, giving it a creamy mouth feel.

50% select yeast ferment - single ferment only keeping the crisp lime, pink lady apple and mineral notes. This is ‘left on lees’ (the dead yeast after ferment) and is stirred to increase flavours and complexity.

We are very proud of our wines - we hope you enjoy them.
